Doug's Fortnight

This blog makes me feel like I'm bragging. But I just remind myself that 50% of the reason I write a blog is to keep my parents in touch with my kids. They live 3 states away and can't possibly be here for every event in our lives.

Doug graduated from the 8th grade this year and will be moving on to high school. It's nice, then, that before he left Hoover Middle School he was honored for a few things.

At the Sports Banquet he received Most Valuable Player for the baseball team:


At the final Band Concert he received the award for Most Outstanding Band Student:




At Graduation he was given the award for the Highest Achieving Student:


It was so fun for us (his number one fan club) to cheer for him and enjoy his moment in the sun. I know, I know the hair is crazy but I love to see Doug smile. He is a great kid!
