The McMahon Family

Patrick’s team had a great time in DC at We the People finals. His Unit 1 was first in the state, so they had high hopes to place high at nationals. Unfortunately, they did not place, but they still had a great time. They did a ton of touring of the monuments and museums. Here are the pics he sent me.

Here are the pictures the teacher sent!

What better way to celebrate the return of baseball than going to Opening Day at Wrigley?!

Heading out! The Day started out sunny and 70s in St. Joe.

Chicago was a little colder. Quickly realized, it was too windy to not wear a hat.

At least we started our day with sun!

Rizzo threw out the first pitch!

By the fourth inning, it was pretty cold and raining…but still worth it!

My happy place

He turned 18. I was already struggling with the idea of him turning 18, but then he asked to go on a trip with his friend and his family…and they would leave on his birthday. It was hard, but I let him go.

Here is my Patrick Thomas over the last 18 years. I love you, Patrix. More than you can imagine. I am proud of you and pray that you always seek to please God in all you do while chasing your dreams.

Patrick had his last Solo Ensemble contest. As always, he earned the highest rating and ‘Best of Day’ with his group. They did a great job. The first group was with some of his best friends and the second group was with all the seniors in the band.
