I can say all the good things about Maxwell and it won’t even come close to accurately describing him. He’s just…the best. He’s thoughtful and responsible and smart. He’s a natural leader and that skill is being developed more and more within scouts and football and school. I can always count on him – to help, to do the right thing, to make the best decision he can make, to be kind. He works so hard at school and sports and isn’t afraid to put in the time studying or at practice. He just figures things out and figures them out well.

Maxwell has some really loyal best friends and has developed a circle of friends that are all pretty like-minded. He’s making good choices about who he hangs out with and I really like the group he’s fallen into. I think he’s well liked by all and can easily move between different groups. Jack is still his best friend but his social circle is big!

I love this kid so much and love watching him grow up. I said last year, there’s not much more to say except that he’s exceptional! I could not be more proud.

Happy birthday Maxwell. We love you so much!

GSG!

The 8th grade Spartans had a jamboree game last week and it was so fun to be back in the stands! The 8th grade plays later than the 7th grade so hopefully we won’t be fully staring into the sun and melting quite as much as we did last year. We might even get some really pretty sunsets like this last week…

The weekend before school started we took another trip down to Montgomery to visit Montgomery White Water! We scheduled a lesson for Maxwell and the instructor was great and got him right back into it!

She took him through the runs several times and he got better and better each time. He really learned to maneuver the drop well and got more confident each time!

Not every run went as expected – but it’s good to do this some so you know how to get back up, which he did every time!

He did the lesson from about 10 to 11:30 and then did a few runs on his own. We then stopped at ate lunch at Eddy’s out there – which was great! – and then he got back into the water for another hour or so. The place is so awesome with sidewalks all through it so I could walk around the runs and keep up with Maxwell and watch him. Really cool!
