Andrew’s 8th grade pictures

In just a few days, we will officially have a high schooler among us!  In our area, there is no 8th grade graduation, but that doesn’t mean we won’t celebrate the achievement of finishing middle school.  I’m so proud of this boy!  We have definitely experienced growing pains this past year and we’re still fumbling our way through knowing how to parent a teenager, but when I look at the overall picture, I am thrilled with who Andrew is becoming and I love having a front row seat to see what God is doing in his life.  I have no doubt that this next year is going to bring about a whole new set of changes (and challenges!), but I’m also excited to see where the journey is going to take us … as parents and as a family.

Without further adieu, allow me to present my soon-to-be freshman…
