Michael On Summer Break

Well Michael is enjoying what's left of his summer break. He will be turning 14 this Sept and will be entering the 8th grade. It will be his second and last year at Western Peaks. He has certainly grown since some of you have seen him last. He is taller than his mother and it will not be much longer before he passes me, I might have maybe an inch on him. He is talking about trying out for the school's soccer team this year. Just before summer, he was participating in some introduction to track and field through the city of Surprise. He has not found his calling yet but we will keep encouraging him to try different sports and activities until he finds the one. We have been dragging him to the gym and he has started working out with us, so hopefully that will give him a boost when it comes to school tryouts should he decide to give them a shot. He has a couple of months left, fingers crossed, until he has his braces taken off. He actually looks really good with them on but he will not show them to you unless he doesn't realize that he is smiling.
