Wood Badge!

Finally!  Wood Badge is a rigorous Boy Scout Leader training that takes a lot of time and commitment.  In the fall of 2011 Stephen went through the weekends of training and then had 18 months to complete 5 projects to enhance his local unit.  We're so proud of him for earning this award--he's a scout-MASTER!





A Baptism and a Blessing!

We had a wonderful occasion to travel to Houston....

The baptism of this little lady....
 
 

And the blessing of her sweet baby sister, the newest McKneely baby!
 
 
 We were really glad for the people who traveled the furthest, Uncle Joey and Liz...
 
And we enjoyed some fun time with family....
 

Marvelous Maverick

Sam's class performed at the first Rise and Shine assembly....
 
And like the cherry on top, Sam was chosen as the boy "Marvelous Maverick" in the morning assembly!  He's such a good kid. Here is what his teacher said about him:

"He sets a good example for his classmates and is a great friend!  He is also and energetic learner =)!
 
We are so proud of him!
