Our kids
Boy Michael, inviting people to talk about their kids?? You couldn't choose a better way to get some of us to say something!
Peter and I have been married almost 23 years and have two kids, Dan and Erica. When I think about what parts of my life I could have predicted in High School, the absolutely amazing experience of parenthood wouldn't have made the list. Both our kids are smart, funny, and just generally great people. They're the kind of people that you're proud to launch into the world. I still have a hard time believing that I'm old enough to have kids in college.Dan is 21 and a senior at Rensselaer Polytech Institute in upstate NY (Troy to be exact - about 15 minutes from Albany). He's a physics major (like his dad) and a music and psychology minor. He's a musician, having played Sousaphone, mellophone, and French horn in high school, and pretty much every low brass instrument in the college pep band.Erica is almost 20 and a sophomore at Kalamazoo College in (you guessed it!) Kalamazoo Michigan. She's still deciding on a major, but it's going to be some sort of International Relations/Global Development, or something like that. She's a musician like her brother, but she plays bassoon and flute. Her other big love is aerial silks and she performs with a group at school called Cirque du K.Here's a link to her performance at the beginning of this quarter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GPZK8ZAHVcBeing their mom is a privilege, and I try not to forget that even when it gets tough. Most of the time I even succeed!
