Nick's crew

I'm trying not to acknowledge the fact that Nick is almost done with middle school and will be entering high school in the fall, but it's true.  I am well aware that once high school starts that within a blink of an eye it's over.  Today I hugged Nick and said jokingly (kind of) that he must live with me forever.  He laughed and said no way was he living in Illinois!
A week ago Nick had a dodgeball tourney at school.  He and his buddies played and did quite well but in the end they got beat by 7th graders - gasp!

Fishing is Nick's absolute favorite past time but four wheeling is a very close second.  Once again I give glory to God to leading us to where we live because only He knew I would have two boys that loved the outdoors!
