Permit and Published

Looking back I can remember the significant milestones that the kids have reached: first word, first tooth, first step, first day of school. As well as the more exciting ones like learning to tie their own shoes, potty training and the ability to dress themselves! As they've gotten older the milestones are not so life changing but they still mark the passing of time: the first day of high school and today a new milestone ~ Andrew got his learners permit.

For an assignment in school, Christopher had to write an essay and submit it to a national competition. This week he received a letter informing him his essay was selected as high merit and is being published! In typical Christopher fashion he was not phased by this honor at all :-} His mother, on the other hand, thinks it is pretty cool.
