He Is Healed

 


Final follow-up for Colby's clavicle. The doctor was shocked at how much bone has been laid down in the past four weeks.  Compare how much thicker the clavicle is on the left picture as compared to the right. That bone is SOLID.  Colby has been released to hurl himself on a pole at track, which is what he wanted... as long as he lands on the mat ;).  Onward and upward!

One Handsome Dude

 Normally I cut the boys' hair, including Rob.  It helps that they have had the same hair cut for the past 8 years at least, and so I have to learn only one style for each.  Prior to that, the boys wore buzz cuts, and I was all over that, too.  So my repertoire has not been challenged at all, despite having three heads to shear every few months.  Colby, though, wanted to shake things up a bit, and did NOT want his mother to do the shaking.  He wanted a REAL hair cut, by an actual barber.  OK then.  Get the guy to "Gentleman's Choice" for a $12 cut!

It turned out great.  I think he looks fabulous.  And he's right... that barber did a far better job than I could!

A Letter from his Coach

 I think it's super cool what Coach Johnson does for each of the kids before UP Finals.  These little hand-written words of encouragement and inspiration really do mean a lot to the kids!  So thankful for a good coach.

Quinn's First Resume:

 Quinn was one of two students in his Mechatronics class nominated to apply for a job with a local engineering company.  This is super cool, and would be an awesome experience for him!  He went to work on his very first resume.  BEHOLD!  My son "adulting"!


Colby Networking Research Paper

 Colby did a little research into Youtube's algorithm, and then came up with this (truly impressive, in my opinion, but I am his mother!) paper.  Documenting here for all posterity.
