41 Days (see updated pics below)


This is the perfect time of any for a McNulty family update from Cleveland.  On the verge of Caleb’s 15 month mark and the fact that we are 41 days from leaving Cleveland here is the most recent update with the family and our future. 

First, the past 6 months have been magical watching Caleb James grow, play, learn to throw, stand, watch birds, and most recently scoot across the floor.  We hosted family during Meri’s graduation from the Cleveland Clinic Residency Program (see pic below), visited Lake Tahoe for an entire week for Caleb’s first dip into Lake Tahoe, and the biggest news for the family was finding and buying the perfect house in Traverse City to stage our next chapter of life.

The plan is to pack the house on August 21st and drive West and North to Traverse City, MI on August 22nd.  After getting settled into our house (1 block from beach, 4 blocks from down town, 1.9 miles from Meri’s hospital, 2.2 miles from local ski hill) we will enjoy some time with family and friends before Meri starts working with Traverse Anesthesia Associates and Munson Medical Center on the 15th of September.  It will be very hard to leave some great friends in Cleveland and the wonderful job of flying for PHI Air Medical, but the time has come to turn the pages and move on.  I will initially be Mr. Mom before I start my campaign to run for Mayor of Traverse City in 2020 or find another local helicopter flying position. 

Please plan your trip now to come visit as we do have a mother-in-law suite behind the main house and there are many connecting flights through Chicago or Detroit.  Excuse the long delay in family communication, but this parenting thing is too much fun.  See everyone in PURE MICHIGAN!!
