Jack at 16

It's so hard to believe that Jack is 16. He's learning to drive, working at Jersey Mike's sub shop, working on his Eagle Scout project for Scouts and maintaining honor roll at school. Such an accomplished young man! Most importantly (teenage angst aside) he's a good human. My buddy.

Danny at 13

Danny-boy is 13! We took him to Salt Fork Lodge for the weekend to celebrate.

He's such a great kid to be around. Kind, funny, insightful. He loves to spend time with his friends on video games or in-person. He's in the band at school (trumpet) and enjoying scouts.

I love him to the moon and back.

Jack at 15

Jack had a great birthday with friends. Thankfully we are all vaccinated and can get together with small groups of friends again. They went bowling and hung out and had a sleep-over watching horror movies (The Conjuring). At 15.5 he can get a learner's permit and it's all he can talk about. I don't think I'm ready for that quite yet. He's doing so well at school and in Scouts and he's just got back from being on staff at NYLT True North. I'm very proud of him.

He's not quite as tall as me yet, but it won't be long!
