- Mama’s sweet text that he’s enduring this for his grandkids - that Papa has too much he still wants to do with them!

- Watching Hud (11) grow into a young man. Almost as tall as me. Pretty much looking him straight in the eye now. He seems to be changing by the week.

Mama and Papa couldn't be at the ceremony (Cap & Daboo represented them well), but they came by after in a typhoon to celebrate
- Coach Goebel. His driving nature the first few months of school in football and basketball almost did Bran in, until Branson realized he was being pushed to his potential. 
It took a few months, but Branson admires him like crazy now
- Mr. Deal. Bran's favorite teacher in 7th grade. According to Branson, Mr. Deal is why he went to school everyday.
Grateful time and again for these McLean teachers

Since they're not getting a green thumb from me, so glad they've got Daboo's genes

 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles...   1 Chronicles 16:11-12
