Can I brag?

My firstborn and oldest son (far left) won third place in a writing contest for grades 7-12 (he is an 8th grader). A junior and senior won 1st and 2nd. His paper was incredible and he received very little help. Only proofreading for major errors. I am SO proud of him as his teacher and his mother. He received a cash award and a Border's gift card. Also, his writing will be published and available for check out at the library and his name will be on a plaque at the Bedford library forevermore. Is it Ok to brag? I think so. God bragged on his firstborn too. I am well pleased with my son. However, this award is not even close to the main reason I am proud of him! :)
