The Moment Dave Has Been Waiting For

The moment that Dave has been waiting eight years for has arrived. When Paul was born, Dave may have exclaimed "It's a Boy!" but I know in his mind he was thinking, "It's a Scout!"

Poor Dave had to wait eight years and one extra week because on Paul's birthday, last Wednesday, cub scouts was cancelled due to the weather. When Dave found out about this he was very disappointed...no, he was mad...no, he was livid. But alas, yesterday was Paul's first day as a Cub Scout and it just so happened to be a Blue and Gold Banquet so the whole family got to be with him. He looked great and Dave was a happy man.

In preparation for this big moment, Dave has insisted that Paul recite the scout promise and law, or oath, or whatever it is called, before playing the wii this past week. Dave was also very particular about the uniform and declined my offer to handsew the patches. (He must have seen some of my previous work.)

And here's our David Paul at the beginning of a great adventure.
