Every Reason to Smile

See this kid...


He has every reason to smile.

He received not one but two phone calls this afternoon. Calls from the offices of a US Senator and our Congressman. Calls to let him know that he has received an appointment to the US Naval Academy!!!!!

We (parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, friends, etc...) are all so very, very proud of Mr. A! He is over the moon and very proud of himself too. As well as he should be, since he's worked so hard to achieve his goal.

The news hasn't totally sunk in yet for any of us. And there's still a whole lot of celebrating yet to do. Let's just sum it up and say that we're ecstatic.

To my son, I love you!
