The McMahon Family

Maybe middle age isn’t so bad!

Mac’s graduation is in 2 1/2 weeks. I am so excited for him to move on to the next phase of life, but am struggling with how fast it went! He’s been accepted into the Pathways program to the University of Illinois School of Engineering with a major in aerospace engineering. He’s very excited to say he’s a U of I student! I’m so proud of him and his goals. He is not happy that I am making him walk for graduation and he’s not happy that I’m having a party for him. (I use the word party loosely…mostly just family!)

While it is hard for me to imagine a daily life at home without my boys as they grow up, I am comforted that his plan is to live at home while doing his college years. So I know I’ll have a front row seat for a bit more.

I made him and Shannon do some senior pictures for me and this is what they came up with!

My Patrix is 16!

Patrick’s career goal is to be a pilot. So our friend Jacob took him up and let him experience it and try a couple of things. Here is Patrick flying a plane!

Bourbon had a great birthday week. It also fell on the same week as the start of his Advent calendar.

We love our Bourbon Chewie!
