Members of the Cibolo Police Department including McGruff the Crime Dog came by this evening to deliver a special birthday surprise to Josh.
They had a PSP and a couple of games for him. They also told him about a few other surprises they were still planning. They are arranging for him to come to City Hall later this week to swear him in as an honorary police officer, complete with an authentic badge and id "credentials." They said he will be welcome to ride along in their police car then to see what the officers do on patrol. They have also conspired with the San Antonio Spurs and are working on collecting several Spurs memorabilia including signed Spurs jerseys! They also promise a signed jersey from this year's brand new varsity football team at Cibolo's new high school.

The officers also had a surprise in the works for Steffany - who, by the way, they had pulled out of class today to ask for suggestions for a birthday present for Josh.
For Steffany, because they read she wants to be a pilot in the air force when she grows up, are working with Randolph Air Force Base to get her a flight suit and helmet, and want to send her up in a fighter jet!

Both kids were awe struck and very excited. And so are we! We just had to write and share all this great news with all of you!!!!

We will let you know when the swearing in will be and when the flight will take place as soon as we know more.
