We have a lot of new things for 2011. Michael turned 16 and is a sophomore so at the HHS now. Jessica turned 12 and is now in the Intermediate school. Christian is in 3rd grade this year and turns 9 in September. His teacher this year is Mr. Clay. When Christian was in 1t grade it was Mr. Clay first started teaching. They do the team teaching thing so Christian got to be with Mr. Clay a lot. He LOVED him then and he loves him even more now. School is so much better when the teachers are awesome! When we got the letter in the mail about Christian having Mr. Clay for a teacher he was so super excited he almost was crying. Cute as heck. Christian just got done being spotlighted this week. I got to go into his class on Friday morning and talk about Cory. That was super fun. We took pictures, a map and his dog tags that Christian has. I absolutely loved hearing Christian talked about his dad. SO PROUD!!!! I dont' really hear how much the kids miss their dad. They don't really say. But when Christian was talking about his dad you could really tell. When he got home from school I was on the phone with Cory and Christian got to talk to him for a bit. When he heard his dad's voice he was so super excited. Brought tears to my eyes. I know my kids miss their dad so much. Especially as we are still dealing with Michael's knee and the trials that brings into his life. Jessica could sure use her dad being around too. We are so proud of him though. We love him so much and as much as we miss him we know he has a job to do and we support him 100%. This experience has definitely taught us to be grateful. No matter how bad things get there is always some good to be found. Sometimes we might have to look with a microscope right now but I know the good is there.
