My son, the Eagle Scout

Armed and dangerous!
Finished product 
This past weekend marked a huge milestone for our family, as my son, Braxton, completed his Eagle Scout project! He and his friends (with the help of Mom and Dad) built some beautiful shelving units for the Walton Cheerleaders' storage closet. It was a lot of fun and very tiring, but the fruit of all the hard work makes it worthwhile. God made everything easy and uneventful - we had all the tools, supplies, manpower, food (very important!), adult help and supervision, no injuries, no ill tempers, the gym area was cleared all weekend so we didn't have to compete with basketball, the weather was cool, etc. And, most importantly, we got it all done in two days! Celebration time! Congratulations, Braxton! Job well done!
