A new year is once again upon us, and with it, we are a quarter of the way through the 21st century. We kick off 2025 with the first photo from this year’s calendar, featuring Michael wearing Angelina’s graduation gown at Fair Oaks Farms prior to Danny’s graduation.

2025 Calendar
Now that Christmas has come and gone, we can unveil the cover to this year’s calendar gift, given annually to my mom and sister, and made up of pictures I have taken throughout the year. I imagine this will be the final edition, with both Angelina and Danny out in the workforce and Michael away at school despite still being mostly homebound. As in year’s past. the calendar was produced by the good folks at Shutterfly and we will unveil each month’s photo(s) on the first day of the month throughout 2025.
This year’s cover features all three kids posing prior to Danny’s graduation dinner at Fair Oaks Farms in Fair Oaks, Indiana, with both Angelina and Danny in their respective caps and gowns.
Chestnuts Roasting
We wrap up the year with a photo of Michael working the jigsaw puzzle last November on Thanksgiving.
A Time To Be Thankful
We are entering the home stretch of 2024, and, to celebrate Danny’s upcoming birthday, we have various shots of him from the 2023 Purdue football season. Clockwise from the top left, we have his final drum major breakdown following the IU game, after hitting the drum during halftime of the same game, and, finally, him marching on the field at Ross-Ade.
Harvest Moon
Angelina’s (and my) birthday month kicks off the final quarter of 2024. We celebrate with a picture of her playing the piano on Thanksgiving of last year.
Falling Into Autumn
We enter the tail end of summer, and the beginning of meteorological fall, with a look back to last summer, when Danny and I travelled to Seattle to visit the Space Needle and see the White Sox take on the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
The Dog Days Of Summer
As summer winds down, we return to last spring and Michael’s graduation ceremony from Joliet Junior College, which, yes, took place prior to his high school graduation.
Summer Breeze
We kick off the second half of 2024 with a photo of Angelina putting together a jigsaw puzzle from last Thanksgiving.
Summer Travels
The first half of 2024 wraps up with Danny outside of Pike Place Market from our trip to Seattle last summer.
School’s Out Forever
With a busy month of graduations ahead, Angelina getting her PhD from Boston University and Danny earning his BS from Purdue, we celebrate with this shot of Angelina and her house skeleton from my trip to Boston last October to celebrate our birthdays.
