Maxwell has grown up exponentially in the past year. He started the Junior High and I feel like it’s all going at lightning speed. He’s still my same awesome, kind, aware, responsible, polite, trustworthy and all around great kid – he’s just becoming a more grown up version every single day. He ran right into that Junior High and never looked back – he’s got tons of friends, old and new, and even has a girlfriend! His social life is thriving these days!! ha! He’s playing football and loving those hot, sweaty practices. He’s excelling in his classes, even all of the advanced ones. He’s ranked up to First Class in scouts. This kid has his stuff together – he’s organized and on top of it and I rarely worry about him getting it all done. He just figures it out and figures it out well.
He and his friends still love to go into the village and get dinner and hang out at the field. He has a really good group of buddies and has expanded his circle with football friends and new kids from the junior high. They’re still kids but also so big at the same time. As his English teacher said at open house, 7th grade is a great year to fly and fall. The stakes are low if they fail and there are lessons to be learned all around. I can’t say it’s easy on me but I’m letting him fly and pretty sure he’s not going to fall too hard. I’m so proud of him and just love him so much.

This kid…he’s got the brains, he’s got the personality, he’s got the smile, he’s got the hair! There is nothing else to say about this teenager except that he’s exceptional. I am so so lucky to be his momma.
Happy birthday Maxwell. We love you so much!
