milestone {middle school}

today was quite a milestone. spencer entered middle school. 6th grade. almost 12 years old. he's an amazing kid, overcoming obstacles and we are so proud of him. this morning, i was a nervous wreck. not having him home with us last night and this morning makes it harder on us. this morning i just stalked my e-mail, waiting to get word from his mother as to how he did.

so here is our star middle schooler...who did AWESOME today!!

and this is the picture we e-mailed to him tonight to let him know how proud we are.

my heart is swollen with pride tonight. i pray tomorrow goes as well...and the next day...and the next day.

we love you big bubba!
