Quinn moves on up to high school

Just days before his 14th birthday, Quinn completed junior high school.  He did exceedingly well there.  His grades were fantastic, he formed a nice circle of friends (rumor alert - he may have a girlfriend) and he matured measurably, especially this year.  We are proud of him and look forward to his future accomplishments.

He'll be building his computer skills this summer, taking mini courses in website building and other things at the local community college.  We're going to take him and his brother to Cape Cod, too. The upcoming birthday weekend will require yours truly to marshal the troops to the local water park for a day of madness.  That will be followed Monday with ... yes, it's true ... a haircut.

Jack - First Concert and Field Day 2016

    Look at the locks on this boy!  He looks like a modern day Samson in this action photo from today's fourth grade field day, full of races and other feats of strength (okay, mostly races).  It was a beautiful day to be outside (I'm told).  

   Last night, Jack performed in his first concert.  He has worked hard on his alto saxophone skills all year.  His effort culminated with the band's rendition of Beethoven's 9th (abbreviated).  He smiled all night and didn't even complain when Cindy tucked in his swanky shirt.  He makes us very proud.
