| High School! Nick
is taking a few advanced courses, such as science, math, and Spanish, so
that he'll be able to get some college credits during his Senior year. At
least that's the plan for now! He rides the bus every day, a big change
from years of walking to school. During the fall he attended most of the
home football games, mostly to hang out with friends. He is good about doing
his homework without having to be told, and he has been on the honor roll.

Nick has been wearing
glasses for a few years, and finally got contact lenses this year. The big
thing in 8th grade was the trip to Washington, DC. The kids spent most of
their time on the tour bus, but they got to see lots of things up close,
and explore some of the great museums and monuments. Nick is in advanced
Language Arts as well as advanced Math. Unfortunately he no longer enjoys
reading due to the strange and difficult books they were forced to read
this year. He wants to be either an architect or a lawyer when he grows
up. |
| These middle school
years are going fast! Seventh grade is here, which means dances, football
games, parties, hanging out with friends. |

Nick is now in middle
school. The 6th graders stay together for most of their classes, so it isn't
too different from elementary school. He worked on a lot of projects during
the year for social studies and language arts. In addition to being in the
advanced reading and writing, this year Nick got into the advanced math
classes. It is very challenging, and John is working hard keeping Nick caught
up. Nick is learning (the hard way) to make sure all of his work gets turned
in, on time. |
| Nick has reached
the end of his elementary school career. He is now a 5th grader and looking
forward to middle school next year. Nick is a Safety Patrol and helps the
little kids cross the street on the way to school. He still likes to play
soccer, basketball, video games and ride his bike and scooter. He loves
to read, draw and watch tv. He is very interested in science; it is probably
his favorite and best subject. He still helps out at church
every Sunday as an altar boy. |

Nick is in 4th grade
and is working hard in school. He has homework almost every night. He loves
to play soccer, basketball, and video games. He likes to hang out with his
friends, but he still enjoys playing with his sisters. He serves as an altar
boy every Sunday at our church,
and has memorized several prayers. He alternates between reading the Holy
Bible and reading fiction books such as Harry Potter, and reading non-fiction
books about space. |
| Nick is in 3rd grade
this year and loving it. He has the "cool guy teacher with the ponytail"
and is learning lots of cool science stuff, as well as how to play chess.
He loves to draw (usually monsters) and to read. He has read the Harry
Potter books, the Magic Tree House books, and is starting to
read The New Testament. He loves watching movies, playing video games, riding
his bike and scooter, and playing soccer. |

Nicholas has finished
2nd grade and is missing his friends and teacher. He loved school this year
and did very well. His latest passions are tetherball, soccer, Pokemon,
Nintendo 64, bike-riding and American history. He is trying to memorize
all the Presidents, in order, and is also teaching them to his sisters.
He is an Altar Boy at our church,
and takes his job very seriously. The summer will be spent hanging out at
the pool, taking swimming lessons, and playing with friends. |

Nicholas learned a lot in 1st
grade. He is reading incredibly well, even figuring out difficult words
that he's never seen before. He loves to read; his favorite books are
the Captain Underpants (really!) books. Nicky likes to play basketball
and baseball, but his favorite is soccer. Nicky's favorite color is red.

At the age of five,
he "knows everything" and is quick to tell his Mommy that he knows more
than she does. He started Kindergarten this year and creates a lot of
art projects. He enjoys going to Sunday School, neighborhood playgroup,
and gymnastics. But most of all he likes dinosaurs and superheroes. Every
other week we go to the library to get new dinosaur books. He knows all
their names and which ones were meat-eaters. He currently has about 25 dinosaurs,
and Daddy is always buying a new one for Nicholas. He adores his little
sister, Alexandra, and even lets her play with
his dinosaurs. He taught his sister how to talk by talking
non-stop every day. He loves his newest little
sister, Sophia, and makes her laugh and watches out for her. He loves
to go to the Columbus Zoo with his friends and see all the animals. |

Nicky absorbed everything he saw and heard.
