Dear Henry,
How can you be 11 already? Seems like just yesterday, we were brining our little blond baby boy home from the hospital. You are growing into a very sweet and fun young man. You still love the outdoors and yard work. If only you loved school work as much.... you really enjoy the social part of school, and do make mostly A's with an occasional B, but you are a kid who likes to do the bare minimum to get by when it comes to school. You do enjoy learning about history and love reading non fiction books, especially from The Who Was series. You enjoy collecting and trading baseball and football cards and talking sports with your friends. You are big talker in general, known to talk a big game and be pretty funny as well. You love playing basketball with your friends on the QA CMLA team and also with your brothers at home. Running is your favorite sport though - both cross country and track - you like to run long distance and have been really improving quickly, regularly placing in top 10 at meets lately. You've made some great friends at school and on your Alpha Crush running team. You enjoy time with your siblings and tend to be the silly one. You really enjoy scouting and just completed all ranks of Cub Scouts and crossed over into Boy Scouts. You love serving others, whether it is alter serving at mass, safety patrol at school (where you are captain) or cooking food with Mr Travoto and Dad for the youth group, you do have a wonderful servant's heart. Henry we are so proud of you and love you so much. Keep up the servant's attitude and always remember to be grateful for all your blessings! We are so blessed to have you as our son! We love you!!!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
