Bragging Rights!

Here is Payton with his award for Highest Academic Achievement for First Grade.  He achieved the highest grades in his class, with 100% in Reading, English and Spelling and a 96% in Math.  I was so proud!  Several people had mentioned to me that this is quite an accomplishment with all he has been through this year.  I never had really given that a thought.  Being diagnosed with diabetes at the beginning of the school year didn't slow him down!  Missing almost a week of school in October, dealing with low blood sugars during class, missing class to check his sugar, and missing days for doctor's appointments...he still achieved this award!  We are very proud parents and are so excited God has given us this special little boy and has entrusted us to take care of him.
