These things fall into the "I can't believe it" catagory:

• Next year (June, 2007) I will have a high school graduation (Andrew) and a kindergarten graduation (Tyler) to deal with (and still a one year old at home)
• If they both make it Joellyn will graduate from high school in 2009, Andrew from college in 2011, Joellyn from college in 2013 and Brandon from high school in 2016
• If both boys progress accordingly, Tyler will graduate from high school in 2019 and Brandon from college in 2020.
• Then Tyler will graduate from college in 2023 and Connor from high school in 2024
• Our last boy (Connor) will not finish college until 2028 when Ron and I will be 62 - that seem like a really long time from now!!!

I am getting really tired just thinking about it!!

Happy Birthday, Brandon

I got so busy with life that I missed my post on Brandon's birthday.

Brandon, born on May 18th, 1998, 9 days after Ron graduated from medical school in Indianapolis and 3 weeks before we moved to Danville, PA for Ron's residency. Poor kid! Completely sandwiched inbetween two other very big life events.

Ron's residency program started right after Brandon was 6 weeks old and Ron was determined to get him to smile before he started. And he did!!!

Brandon is finishing 2nd grade and loves math, recess and reading. After reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with his Dad, he continued reading the series on his own and is now on Prince Caspian. He tolerates his older brother and sister, fights with his younger brother, Tyler, and adores his youngest brother, Connor (almost a little too much).

Brandon is a joy to have in our family and we are so thankful for him!!!
