He's an EAGLE!

Yes, Gavin has now finished his requirements for the Eagle Scout rank. Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity of having his Eagle Court of Honor. We had a lot of family and friends that were able to be with him to celebrate this great accomplishment.




Because Gavin was the only Eagle scout that night, we planned the whole program. It was really special to customize it just for him. Katelyn gave a really sweet tribute of Gavin with some fun stories along with tender feelings of her brother.



A former Scout leader spoke and did a really great job. He has a really tender heart, and so he got emotional several times sharing his feelings about Gavin and the example Gavin was to him. He spoke a lot about Eagles and their characteristics, and how they apply to Gavin, and even us.




Gavin's aunt Suzanne made him this really neat cake for his court of honor.



Gavin's aunt Tricia, Jayson and I all worked together to make this video for Gavin. We played it during his Court of Honor, and it was very touching. I had been looking all over trying to find a song that would be neat to play to this video. I just couldn't find one I liked. Jayson had one sung at his court of honor, but we didn't have the time to order the music for it. When Tricia came to our house and we were working on the video, she brought a song with her that she thought would be neat. It ended up being the same song sung at Jayson's Eagle Court of Honor. Pretty neat!
