Eddie is such a fun kid! He's chill but always gets us laughing. He loves math, music, and sports - especially baseball. He had a good year, acting as Billy the duckling in his first musical, playing basketball, and playing baseball with a great team of boys who keep getting better! The fifth grade class was a fun-loving group in which everyone is friends, and I think they're going to have a good time in middle school. It's always fun when another Wernet moves up to "my" side of the building.
Baseball is Eddie's absolute favorite, at least in this season. On his birthday, he and DJ went to the Grand Ledge baseball camp (which he said is the best camp ever), then his friend joined us for mini-golf and batting cages. We had a quick dinner of pesto pasta then headed off to their baseball game, where Eddie pitched his best game yet. He got to eat ice cream with his team before heading home for cake and presents - so all in all, a great day. Here's wishing him a great year to come!

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?
I'm excited for Frozen Jr. (the fall Midway Theater Co. production) and a growth spurt.
