The more I reflect on the whole National Daughter and Son day thing, the more gratitude wells up in me.
Amy and I set out to raise two quality adults.
I think we accomplished that mission.
But along the way, we have also realized they have become our best friends too. When the four of us are together it’s the absolute best of times. The laughter and conversations are second to none.
I am so grateful for all that God has done through this wild adventure of parenting these amazing people.

We had the absolute best day in #Detroit! I’m grateful to be able to do life with Amy. The Tigers winning was the cherry on top. Dime Store for breakfast, Tigers game, and then Buddy’s Pizza for dinner.
It was a great day! The outcome of the game wasn’t what we wanted but the company and laughs and memories made were pretty special. Thanks to Todd Waller for making today happen. #grateful
I’m taking in and enjoying every last bit of these glorious mornings. Soon enough the cold winds will blow and the snow will fall. Until then, the joy of the morning sun will be embraced!
We moved our daughter, Libby, in for her 3rd year at Michigan State yesterday. She’s on a new adventure this year, renting a house with four sorority sisters. Installing a ceiling fan, building a desk, and the liberal use of command strips turned her room into a space she’s really excited for!
I could not be more proud of these four young men. With men like this on the rise, the future is bright.
I am so grateful to be able to play a small part in their lives.

Hanging out a great, new to me, space Sam Hill in Ann Arbor tonight watching a good friend’s band. So much fun!
