I don't know how the last 18 years went by so fast, but somehow we have arrived at the magical event of our nephew, Ryely's high school graduation from Claremont High. Ryely was born during the first year that John and I were dating and was our ring bearer when he wasn't quite 4 years old. This past Christmas marked his 18th birthday. We couldn't be more proud of him. He has grown into such a kind, intelligent, athletic, polite and helpful young man. He is a talented swimmer and diver and an even better water polo player (taking after his father).
He even made the varsity water polo team as a freshman. A couple of days before graduation, Ryely received the "Scholar Athlete of the Year" award at the senior awards ceremony. That was quite an honor and we have no doubt it was well deserved. Ryely will be going off to college soon and there is no doubt we will miss him dearly. He is headed to Indiana to go to Rose-Hulman, a top engineering school in the US. Way to go Ryely!
