Trevor is Off to College!

Just when I think my kids are getting old because they are heading off to third grade, first grade and preschool, our nephew, Trevor, heads off to college!!! How is that possible?!? After growing up in Atlanta (for a couple years) and then Ohio, Trevor just moved into his dorm room at Brown University in Providence, RI last weekend (right before Hurricane Irene hit). We are thrilled that Trevor is only 20 minutes away from us now!! Even though he'll be busy with his new friends, school work and activities, we hope to see him every once in a while! Also, we know that our niece, Sydney, (who is now a Junior in high school) will want to come visit more now, too!

Trevor is all settled in to his dorm room!
Tracy and Jeff with Trevor on Thayer Street Our kiddos are happy that they'll get to see their oldest cousin more often now! (Unfortunately, Sydney couldn't come out this time since she already started back to school last week. Boo!)

And now for a little walk down memory lane...

It's hard to believe that this was Trevor and his Uncle Mike 18 years ago! (1993)I first met Trevor and Sydney (and Tracy and Jeff) while they lived in Atlanta. Mike and I were dating and still at Boston College, and we spent New Year's in Atlanta. (December 1996) Trevor and Sydney were the most well-behaved kids at our graduation from Boston College. (May 1998) People asked us if we rented Trevor and Sydney for our wedding since they were the perfect ring bearer and flower girl! (August 2000) Trevor held Isabella for the first time when she was three months old (September 2003). Trevor and Sienna (October 2005) We enjoyed several visits from Trevor and Sydney during the summers! (June 2007) The oldest cousin meets the youngest cousin, Elijah. (March 2008) Another fun summer visit from Trevor and Sydney when Trevor came to check out colleges on the East Coast. This was when he visited Brown for the first time! (June 2009) A Spring Break visit with Tracy, Jeff, Trevor and Sydney after Trevor was accepted and decided to attend Brown! They may have bought one of everything from the bookstore! (March 2011) Trevor and Sydney at Trevor's graduation party. (May 2011) Trevor was the salutatorian of his graduating class and gave a great speech at his graduation. All of us after graduation. We are so proud of all of Trevor's accomplishments and we can't wait to see what the future holds for him! Luckily, we'll be able to be part of his college experience! We're hoping that Sydney will end up on the East Coast in another two years, too!
