Beppe's Arrow of Light

My boys are all pretty busy and within all of the crazy things we do somehow Giuseppe had found the time to earn his Arrow of Light. The Arrow of Light is the highest honor in cub scouting and the patch earned is the only one from cub scouting that is worn on the Boy Scout uniform. Chili and Giuseppe have both earned their Arrow of Light and are setting great examples for their brothers to follow. Thank you boys!

Beppe's Glasses

Funny story... so I get a note home from the school nurse that tells me that apparently Giuseppe had 80/20 vision in one of his eyes and 20/20 in the other. We were shocked to find out that our almost 11year old son has been walking around with what the eye doctor had deemed a 'lazy eye' all of these years. When the doctor confirmed his need for glasses Giuseppe promptly turned to me and with all seriousness said, "I don't need glasses, I only have a problem seeing when I close ONE of my eyes." Yes, he is a boy isn't he! I sure do love how he looks in his glasses! Now he looks as smart as he actually is!!

Giuseppe Takes 1st!!!

Giuseppe has been working hard now for 4 years in the sport of wrestling and all the while his brothers have been having all the success. Giuseppe has been working just as hard as them but for some reason has just not quite ever taken first. Many second place medals and some thirds but no first places..... until now.... finally all the hard work has payed off at least for now. He has taken home his first official 1st place medal and poster!!! We are so very proud of him over the last couple weeks. He has not only done great in wrestling but also in the classroom. Giuseppe is the first of our boys to bring home a report card with all 4's (the equivalent of straight A's for the non-Washington readers) and then as if that weren't enough he was the only one in his challenge class(gifted program once a week) to get all 4's on that report card as well. I guess this is just his month!!! We love you Beppe!!
