Monday night my oldest son was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society at school. To be included, you have to maintain an 11.0 grade point average on a 12 point scale (which essentially translates to an A- average) and be willing to complete at least 15 hours of community service during the course of a school year. To say his Daddy and I are proud is a gross understatement.
I warned him ahead of time that there would definitely be pictures involved and like a typical 13-year old boy he sort of gave a sigh of resignation (perhaps even rolled his eyes a little) but then complied beautifully. Oh how I love this boy young man!
Formal shots before the induction ceremony:
And one during (the one where he was actually willing to look at the camera and give a little smirk):
Motherhood has got to be one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life, but it’s also the one thing that has brought me the most joy. To see my kids growing up (too fast!) and maturing, making good choices and being blessed for their efforts makes my heart swell with pride.
Proverbs 23:15 … My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice!
Great shots of you son! He's a handsome fellow. I have two boys, 13 and 15 and I must say I'm loving this age! Congrats to him on the Honor Society!
