Each year at this time, we reflect on all of you, near and far, who have helped to develop the “many chapters” of our lives. You each matter to us and appreciate the ability to stay connected, whether it is in person or through social media, or a yearly card.
This year has been one of beginnings, endings, and future beginnings.
A whirlwind of growth and change for our family!
Blake turned 16, a milestone marked by a driver’s license, a car, and a part-time job! As he balances school, work, and friends, he’s also starting to explore colleges and preparing for the SAT. We’re so proud of his hard work and dedication. He would like to be a pre-dental major. He is super social these days and enjoys hanging with friends any chance he has.
Judy celebrated her 50th birthday with a trip to Cancun with friends. This mid-life marker has got her focused more on future plans, including a bucket list of trying out new hobbies and a list of places she’d like to see. Her career is going well. She likes the blend of supervision and seeing patients.
Brayden, our youngest, turned 15 and got his driver’s permit. He’s also made the high school basketball team, a significant achievement given the tough competition. He is finding himself busy between managing the demands of daily practices, tournaments, and high school games with the rigorous of his demanding school schedule. He continues to find some time to be a “teen” and enjoys shooting hoops, gaming, and hanging out with friends. He is now the tallest in the family!
This was one of the most unforgettable sporting events in my lifetime…
Procrastination is totally a good thing. You always have something to do tomorrow, plus you have nothing to do today.
