Cole Johnson is special to our family because:

Our first assignment as the parents of a "monkey" at Goddard School:  Write a few words about why your child is special to your family.  Then they are going to put Cole's hand prints on the paper and hang them in the lobby of the school.  So today as I was extremely busy and stressed out (as usual) at work.  An email from Brett comes in and says:

Cole Johnson is special to our family because:

He is so adventurous and funny.  He loves exploring new activities and laughing.  Cole always wants to try new things and see new places.  He is the only grandchild on his Dad’s side and is the star of the family!

Seriously - this is the sweetest thing I've ever read and it made me so teary eyed!  I love my dudes :)
