our little academic achiever!!!

a couple of weeks ago we received a letter from gabe's school...of course i ripped it open--the whole time praying that my little angel was still going to be an angel after i read the letter! well, no fear, gabe is still an angel--it was inviting his parents to an assembly where he was going to be recognized for something extra special that he had done...we were to keep this a secret from gabe--as he knew nothing of this award! a few of you may remember last year we received a note very similar and our little fella was awarded with a citizenship award....so i had just assumed that he would be getting the same thing---still a very big honor if that is what he was to be awarded! so, shawn cleared out the 10:00 time slot on his blackberry, grady and i cleared our datebook and we just waited for today!!! today...drumroll please....gabe was awarded with an ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! they handed out one per class, and mr. davis felt gabe was the one worthy of this honor in his class! in receiving the award the child who was the receipient was one who finishes work on time and correctly, who is excelling in all areas of study, who is an eager learner, who works well independently, who is a helper, and a model for other students. while we thought we could not have been prouder of gabe than we already were....i don't think i have smiled this big since he was awarded the citizenship award!!! you would think i was the one getting the award! we are so happy to have both of our children, we are so lucky that the Lord blessed and entrusted us with these 2 little fellas that we ooze with pride for....i am so happy gabe is such a great role model for not only his classmates, but also the best role model i can think of for grady....he is the best big brother in the whole world! enough gushing for now from this ultra proud momma----we are so proud of you gabe!
