A Light in the Dark

Brent and I, goodness we're looking older.

This past Thursday evening at Pack Night Jaren received the highest award that a cub scout can receive, the Arrow Of Light. Brent and I are so proud of him and his accomplishment. And many thanks go out to his leaders who helped him along the way. They worked so hard for and with Jaren.
In a few short weeks Jaren will be turning 11 years old and will leave behind the Cub Scouts to enter the new and exciting world of Boy Scouts. WOW!!! I am proud of Jaren and the example he has been to his younger brother and sisters.
We wont have to attend another Pack Night for another 3 1/5 years. I will, due to my lovely calling as Den Leader. But no longer will Brent and the kids until Beckham turns 8. I don't even want to think about that day. I'm already feeling older and more gray.
My parents and Brent's parents graciously trekked down, once again, to support Jaren. We really appreciate them attending and it meant a lot to us. Not every kid lives close to both sets of grandparents. He is one lucky kid.
