And he's officially an 8th grader

It's official...Parker is now an 8th grader.  One more year until high school.  I'm not really sure where the time has gone, but it's hard to believe he only has 5 years left until he graduates.  He had a great year at school and is looking forward to attending the local charter school for his last year of middle school starting this fall.

He's definitely grown up a lot this year in many ways.  He also put on about 7 pounds and grew almost 4 inches since the school year started. He's now as tall as I am.
