I was recently interviewed for an article on the Michigan Health Blog.

Nick’s Last Day at Skyline

This was close to Nick’s 2nd birthday. We were starting to get a little worried because he had shown no real interest in trying to walk up to that point. I’m sure he’d tell you why spend the brain cells learning to walk when he was busy learning to read instead. He eventually started walking just fine… and today he walked out of Skyline High School for the last time. As Becky and I get ready to celebrate the graduation of our oldest child, it’s very exciting to see how far he’s come and all the opportunities ahead for him. And yet it’s also a little sad knowing his time to head out on his own is coming way too fast for us. So, first of many congratulations Nick, we love you and are extremely proud of you!

Side By Side With Forsythe Middle School

The Skyline musicians had the opportunity to travel down the road to Forsythe Middle School to perform a side by side concert with them. This is probably the last concert Nick will play in for his high school career. It may also be the last time for a while that Nick and Ashlee play together. :(

Skyline Spring Orchestra 2017

This is Nick’s last time playing in the Skyline Auditorium.

Also, Ashlee auditioned to move from the concert orchestra into the symphony orchestra starting next year and we recently found out that she made it! She was practicing hard for many weeks to do well at her audition and her hard work paid off. We’re excited for her!

Nick Turns 18

He went to bed as a kid last night and woke up as a man. ? Happy 18th to my baby! #stiffupperlip #sayitisntso #timeflies

This little guy turned 18 today. Time goes way too fast. And look, even back then he wore a hoodie. He still wears one around the house with the hood pulled up to this day. Happy Birthday Nick!

Skyline High School Senior Prom 2017

Yep, it really happened, we got Nick to prom. Of course Charlotte had to actually ask him but he said yes. It was a busy day and busy couple weeks get ready for it. Plus the girls came over to our house Saturday afternoon to do their hair and make-up. And then we were surprised at around 11:45pm when the group showed up at our door for an impromptu after party. Anyway, long day, but it was pretty exciting. Becky and I posted some of our favorite pictures. Plus we were surprised to find a picture of Charlotte and Nick in the local news story online (last picture).
