Our sweet B-man turned 15. He celebrated this special day by inviting over all of his friends for a summer kick-off pool party. It was awesome to see him in his element with all of his buddies and to see just how many people care about him. They all wrote such thoughtful messages in his cards and it showed us that the qualities we love about Brady, are the same ones his friends enjoy about him- his quirkiness, his knowledgeable brain that he uses to help his friends with math or teach them fun facts, his humor and inside jokes they share, and his kindness that makes him a safe friend to confide in or be themself around.

This year was full of challenges and successes for B. He scored a 5 on his first A.P. Exam. He competed on his school’s Robotics Team and performed the trumpet in the band. He expanded his friend group, spent time volunteering, and began learning Japanese. This kid loves movies, documentaries about movies, the Dodgers, collecting cards, Minecraft, history, and trying new foods. He is adventurous, brainy, patient, funny, kind, and has a great head of hair!! Next up, drivers ed! We love you lots, Brady-boo.
