Little John...not so little anymore!

Little John, the only boy among the kids is growing too fast! The last summer, he joined the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) which is a lot like ROTC or a military club for kids 12 to 18 years old. John gets opportunities frequently to do things like go on a flight in a plane, wear his BDU's for drill and marching practices and next week he will be doing training on search and rescue. This entails first aid, search tactics and combat readiness training. John loves these weekly meetings and has demonstrated maturity by participating each week. In fact he loves it so much that Savannah has decided to attend a few meetings in order to see if she wants to join too!

At Christmas he got his BDU's and was all decked out (except for name tags) and looked so grown up! at 14 years old he is truly a "man". 12 1/2 shoe, and taller than me he is just growing too fast!
