Favorite Moments in 2024

Marcus III, Mom (Niambi), Dad (Marcus), and “Baby Sister” (Nia)

These photos are actually Little Marcus’ first selfies - that he took not only of himself, but of the whole family! Marcus expressed wanting to take pictures together, demonstrated (and shocked us with) his iPhone and photography skills, and showed so much pride in himself and joy for having taken them. He even gave Mom his best “silly face” when prompted for his second selfie with her, by sticking his tongue out! It was such an awesome moment where his social skills, communication, and applied knowledge came together in a big smile and pics that we’ll cherish forever!

Russell Petersen

Russell was so happy to go to all hockey games of his big brother! The team gave him the extra medals, and he was so blast to be included in the locker rooms and received the medals like big kids! What a great sport memories!
