Our little Parkie! We love you so much. You have always been such a kind and compassionate boy, and we are so proud of the little man you are growing into. You are so responsible and you always put your best effort into everything you do. We find that absolutely remarkable. You have had such an easy time with this move. You made friends so quickly and everyone immediately liked you and your friends in Michigan missed you. I think your new friends saw your kind heart right away. You have so many friends now and are surprisingly social. You LOVE to be out and about hanging out with your buddies. I also love that you are sensitive to others around you. You are always kind to everyone and look out for the kids who struggle or don't have friends. Your school work has been fantastic this year too. You are reading at a ridiculously high level and absolutely love it. You read all the time and we often find you in your room, finishing up a great book. You do really well in math and writing and are overall a fantastic student. Your teacher says she wishes she could clone you! You have also done so well on the piano this year and have found a real love for it. You enjoy practicing, working hard, and perfecting your pieces. We love hearing what you can do. Your soccer skills have really increased this year too. You learn quickly and are a smart player; you push yourself to be better every day and it is fun to watch. You are also great at all the other sports you play and you work so hard. You are interested in EVERYTHING. We don't have enough money or time to put you into all the things you want to try. You are a fantastic brother! You've learned to play a little more rough and stand up for yourself, so we have seen a few more conflicts this year, but you are overall so sweet to every one. Piercey especially loves you and I always know that if you are in charge of him, he will be safe and protected. You are so good to both me and dad. You listen, you obey and you want to do what is right. You have been reading your scriptures this year and you are working hard on your testimony. It has been so fun watching you bear it a couple of times because you have felt the spirit. I know you believe because you live your life like a follower of Jesus Christ. It is truly a joy to be your mom...you make it so easy and I am so grateful for that. I love you more than you will ever know. Love, Mom
