Happy 12th Birthday Justin!

 What a year you have had!  Early in the pandemic, you were happy to stay in your pajamas and spend time with your family.  You then broke your arm on the first bike ride of the spring, but there was almost no complaining!  You figured out how to keep making your art even with the cast on.  Watching you enjoy the lake house was one of the best parts of our summer!  You are still so creative and interested in learning new things.  All of your teachers describe you as beyond sweet.  You are always ready to help a friend and participate in class.  You still love art - trying out new forms (25 lbs of clay living on your bedroom floor!).  We trust your artistic vision and even let you draw a mural on your bedroom wall.  Happy happy birthday!  As you start practicing for your bar mitzvah - we can't wait to see what the next year brings!
