Aspen Michael: 8 1/2 Years Old

 Dearest Aspen Michael,

Oh my son you are such a delight more & more each day. You continue to flourish and grow into a sweet young man. You are polite and curious; humble and strong; dedicated and adventurous; shy and friendly. You are the perfect mix of all things.








This past 6 months, you've grown in every area of your life. Tackling 2nd grade with zest & zealous as you master your school work. You absolutely love reading and typically read an AR book daily. You surpassed your semester goal within 4 weeks!

 

You were the star player on your flag football team. But your most prideful moments came in cheering or congratulating your teammates on their wins/touchdowns/defensive stops. You showed true leadership as the "upper classmen" on the 1st & 2nd grade team.

                                                  

You continue to challenge yourself in tennis...playing & practicing against middle school and high schoolers daily. You have been playing in Level 6 & Level 7 tournaments in the 12&u division. You are having great success learning through each match...even winning some. As a matter of fact, you just won your first Level 7 tournament in Dayton, OH!


 

You received your First Reconciliation in early November. You looked incredibly handsome & dapper in your suit pants and cross bow tie. You were very forthcoming with your sins as well as asking for forgiveness from the Priest & the Lord. When you returned to the pew, you knelt down to do your penance prayers. My heart burst with joy and a few tears streamed down my face. What a special boy you are son!


                                        

You continue to give me hugs daily...I hope that never changes! Keep being you; keep letting your bright light shine!

I love you!

Love,

Mommy
