We are very lucky that the kids have such great exposure to music through school and outside school activities. We were sure to include musical activities when they were younger and its great to see that they have continued.

Aidan had his spring music concert at Latin School. He plays the trombone in the 7th grade band. This year the concert honored alum Leonard Bernstein on his 100th birthday. Here are links to his performances.

Brendan had his show choir concert, he is in Junior Show Choir.

We love seeing the boys perform and hope music continues to be part of their lives.

We have a teenager.

How have thirteen years passed?

Aidan is becoming a confident, compassionate and very funny young man. He is independent and knows what he likes. He loves computer games, Nerf guns, trivia and hanging out with his friends. But he realizes the importance of family and often visits his grandparents and hangs out with us without much push back. He is sarcastic and has a wicked sense of humor. He’s genuinely one of my favorite people to hang out with.

And now he is a teenager. (Due to the storm knocking out power on the South Shore, we had a small friends party at our house but the airsoft party is still to come!)

We have a trombone in the house.

Aidan now plays the trombone at school.

We see a lot of bad parking on our street and especially people who can’t parallel park. It got pretty awful one day, so Aidan went out on the porch to add a little music- sad trombone every time they had trouble.

We’re in trouble,
