May 23, 2013 (yes, I'm a little behind)
Since this was our first year at Armuchee Elementary I was sure what to expect for 3rd Grade Honors Day. As I pulled into the church parking lot, I quickly found out it was a very BIG deal. Parents were all dressed up and kids too. I was thinking I was just glad I picked out a polo shirt for Blake!
I sat down with some friends to quickly find out Blake was sitting on the completely opposite side of the church. After the first awards, I realized they were not walking across the stage to receive awards, but standing at their spot. I moved quickly and found a perfect spot right across the aisle from him!
I honestly don't remember the order of the awards...
But I was so proud of him, I was just snapping away.
I wasn't paying much attention to any other names....
Mostly because we do not know a ton of people still.
I just kept taking a picture every time he stood up....
I'm thinking why am I taking a picture of the exact same thing every time....
Even Blake began to tire of standing up so often! ;o)
But that's not all....
Just a few more times....
He ended the morning with 11 awards in all!
I was SO very proud of him!!!
Afterwards, we took lunch to Kate, our last Thursday lunch date for this school year.
So very proud of you Blake! But I also realize that he had some great examples and leadership at home...Love yall very much. Papaw

There is a reason for the REWARD... Blake works hard as Grandpa and Grandma said.
