Happy 12th Birthday Bethany!! You are inches tall. You finished the 6th grade- your first year of middle school and you managed all As! You had a really great year and had many of the same friends and made lots of new ones too! You went to the Valentine's dance at school this year.  You played soccer in the fall and then in the spring you took tumbling and gymnastics classes. You joined the middle school band and play the french horn. Our 6th grade daily phrase became "You should have picked a smaller instrument." You definitely have a natural gift for music and we're excited to see you learn and grow as a musician. You want to be a rocket scientist (aeronautical engineer) when you grow up, although there's also a building interest in environmental engineering as well. You were inducted into Jr. Beta club and into the Pre-Sail (pre-AP) program at school. You also were selected as an officer for the middle school Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  You love to be ou...

You made all As and Bs this year, you were chosen as student of the month. You continue to take piano lessons from Mrs. Emily and you are doing great! Daddy says you are officially better than him! We all endured Category 5 Hurricane Michael in October. You were very concerned before the storm that water would get in our house. Daddy told you he was 99% sure there would be no water in our house. He changed it later to 90% sure. Well, a little water did get in our house, but thankfully not much. When we walked in the house for the first time, you went to check and see if the computer was okay. It was and you were happy. You have been very resilient! During the storm we stayed with family in Jacksonville, then with friends in Santa Rosa, and then went to Great Wolf Lodge in Georgia. You were out of school for alm...
