Meanwhile, back in June 2012

I'll play a little bit of catch up here for awhile, mostly photographs with a little bit of commentary.
This spring our second son, Nicholas, graduated from our homeschool.  He was thrilled.  (Does it show?) Two down, seven to go.  I'm thankful for a brief break before Emily's senior year and the great college/transcript rush begins anew.  (2014.)

Nick is a freshman in college now, living about two hours from us.  He left for school the same week that we moved.  I'm not certain if two major transitions at once were easier; but perhaps they were.  He seems to be doing very well out on his own; and if the sounds from the piano are any indicator he is progressing quickly as he majors in music.  All I know for sure is that he is greeted like a rock-star when he returns home, and we are so very proud of him.
