Life lately: watching my kids thrive, seeing Ava shine at MSU, and watching their bond grow stronger. My dad would be so proud—and so am I. ❤️ I’m so grateful for the friends and family who’ve been a light!

What a day… one we’ll never forget. 💖🎓

Watching Ava celebrate this milestone surrounded by so many people who love her filled my heart. She has grown into such an amazing young woman, and we couldn’t be more proud. It’s hard to believe she’s heading off to Michigan State to begin her next adventure soon. 💚🤍

Thank you to everyone who came, celebrated with us, and made her day so special. Your love, support, and generosity meant the world to our family. Shout out to @angelaamarie0102 for her amazing skills, she helped put our charcuterie table together!! Cheers to our bartender and her crew @vleckc Our amazing neighbor Jill with @justa.bundts.and.more for our amazing mini Bundt cakes and our good friends @justdipped_treats for the delicious pretzels and dessert mix! And last but not least the skilled DJ Vince at @vincenzomusic_ !

The weather certainly kept us on our toes, but I’d like to think Dad sent us just enough sunshine when we needed it most. ❤️

We’ll cherish these memories forever. Congratulations, Ava—we love you more than words can say. 💞

Happy Sweet 16, Erik! 💙

I loved every football practice, every errand, every late-night drive, and every minute of being your chauffeur. I didn’t realize those little moments would become some of my favorites.

Now it’s your turn to drive. I’m so proud of the kind, respectful young man you’ve become. Love you always. God bless you and keep you safe on the road. Have fun !!! 🛻💙

Dear Dad,

It’s been so long since I’ve talked to you. That Elvis selfie was our last one together, and I still can’t believe how long ago February feels. I wish I’d gone with you that night, but I’m so grateful we had dinner and that last selfie.

There have been so many selfies since then—some I got to tell you about, and so many I never will. That’s the hardest part.

The Fourth was so different without you. Mom’s doing pretty well, but if you could send her a little wink or sign to remind her you’re still watching over all of us, I know she’d love that. I know you are.

Erik is about to start driving & summer baseball, and Ava absolutely crushed Nationals. I’m going to miss watching her on stage, but I know she’ll find her next one.

Work is steady, and I’m working on a few exciting new things. I know you’d tell me to trust myself… but a little extra help from up there wouldn’t hurt. ❤️

We love you. We miss you more than words could ever say!
