At times, I wish he had a little more balance in his life. More time for social activities, or relaxing, or whatever. But I guess he must like it this way, because he keeps his school chock full of difficult classes.
Recently, he has had two big pay-offs to all of his hard work:
1. He got a 34 on the ACT! (33 the first time, 34 the second, thus fulfilling the dream he had where he got a 34.)
2. He was selected to play as a guest youth artist with the Utah Symphony! Another dream come true, and a rare opportunity, especially for juniors.
I am so happy for him, and so proud.
It's pretty cool being surpassed by your children!

OH MY GOODNESS! Wonderful news on both accounts. I often think of you all in France and think of Max including Lucas and Eva in the things he did. On top of high academic and musical talents, he's also got that of being a great son and brother. What a combo. What a perfect combo.
You should be proud! Max is one amazing kid! PS I hated chemistry.
May I just say that every Grandma thinks her baby's blackest?! (Okay, a variation on the real quote...).
Wow! I'm so proud, but I'm not the least bit surprised! Brainiac for sure.
This boy is going places.
I love you, Max. Good work. You're the best at it all. Really.
Wow! He seems like such an awesome kid! Congrats to you for being a great mom!
I'm so glad all his hard work is paying off so well!!
WOW!!!
GREAT JOB- this is amazing!!!
It's nice to see his dreams are coming true & he is doing well with what he loves. happiness.
I would love to see him play at the Utah Symphony- amazing experience.
where does he want to go to college?
Wow! Please give him my congratulations on both counts! That is so exciting!
Congratulations to Max! The SAT score is amazing! How does anyone score a 34 on the SAT? Only a brainiac... And so musically talented as well.... I share your pride.
Hi Michelle!
My mom (Neighbor Jane) said you would like my naan recipe. Here she be!

I used olive oil all around because it's what was easiest.
Just in case you want these too:

And Mango Chutney:

(I don't put the onion in (because I didn't have it the first time and it tasted fine)...and I use cumin powder (and sometimes powdered ginger) because it's also easier.)
Hope you enjoy!
Also, that's one heck of a kid! Nice work! I enjoy your blog so much. Just thought you should know :)
WOW!
As a mom you should be incredibly proud. You have definitely done someting right!!
Wow! This is really exciting! Well done Max!
Well, he has amazing parents!
That's awesome!
Congratulations to Max!! That is fantastic news for sure, and--even though Grandma said "You can't take credit for the good and you don't take the blame for the bad" (in raising children), it sure makes you feel proud, just the same.
