Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me,
"You're next."
They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

He was among 32 of the best spellers that school had to offer and he was the last man standing! 

Ex, I will beat you to the punch...he did NOT get this talent from me..... 

He amazed me as I helped him study from  a list of 275 words he would go 50 or so at a time before he would miss one.

I know it sounds like I am bragging but he is really a great kid and I could not be more proud of him.

Son was interviewed by two newspapers and had his picture in the HB this week...his school does not participate in the state function so he does not get to go to the regional bee...I would have liked to see him have the opportunity, but I think he is glad he does not have to move on, this one made him extremely nervous...but it was a good learning experience for him....

His teacher told me the whole class rushed the stage when he won, and he really had a moment to shine. 

Okay, I'm done tooting my horn... :razz:

Pass along a huge congratulations from me, please.

Those are wonderful moments! They make your heart swell up with pride and tears come to your eyes because we know just how good they feel.

Congrats to Hawk Jr.!
