Our oldest grandchild and only granddaughter graduated from Kaneland High School with honors and will be attending Ball State University in Muncie Indiana this Fall on a Presidential Scholarship..(See how my head swells and my braggadocio goes out of control when I mention grandkids?)
We are so very proud of all of our grandkids!!
Taylor's baby brother, Campbell, had a choral concert. (The kids call him "Soupy", and he loves it!) These middle school kids are amazing singers too, and next year Campbell will be an 8th grader and one year from high school! Peyton graduates this year, so it will be a few years of change at the Heiser house...
Campbell is a little guy with a big deep Baritone voice! I love when kids get involved in stuff, athletics, the Arts, ...anything to keep them busy and give them a sense of belonging.
As some of you might know, our son, Kelly, is a Lieutenant at the Oswego Fire Department...Well, he got a nice promotion to Captain!! Dennis retired from Sandwich Fire Dept. as a Captain, so this meant a lot to all of us...We attended the ceremony and Dennis got to pin Kelly's Captain badge on him...
Of course, I was a wet mess, so these photos could have been better...
Proud Mom and Dad...Hmmm..Dennis' shoes look like he could glow in the dark, right?..I need to supervise his apparel more carefully...........
....Well....maybe not...
I am going to attempt to load a video of our granddaughter's Senior solo she dedicated to me at her Senior choral concert...I sure hope it loads..She sang "I Dream A Dream" from Les Miserables for me. In the play, this was sung by the character, Fantine, who was left alone, and destitute. In this song, Fantine thinks of happier days and wonders how all went so wrong in her life....I totally cried...Turn up your sound and enjoy...

Sooooo...not much else to report here...We are planning a family Cave-A-Palooza at Miramar Beach near Destin Florida for the week of July 8th -July15th...This should be interesting, to say the least!
Bravo !!!!! How proud you must be, Donna !
ReplyDeleteThe solo by your granddaughter was out of this world !!! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations to the Captain !!!
And Soupy keep up the great work and have fun doing it !!!
Thank you so much...We are definitely blessed!
DeleteSounds like a lot of wonderful mundane things that make up the important parts of our lives. You should be proud and bragging on the kids and grands. I liked the glow in the dark shoes. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteThank you...My outfits are unique...and yes, we are very proud of all of our family..We are blessed!
ReplyDeleteI love family photos and updates! Nothing mundane about the things that are most important to us. What a great family you have... even with those grow-in-the-dark shoes!
