I didn't know this until it was too late for me to take off work. T.J. Had a graduation for fifth grade! When did this start? I didn't have one. This must be new, I never heard of it before. But since I was told about it the night before it occurred, I couldn't be there. How sad. Luck had it that Uncle Drew was able to go and take a few pictures for me. Mile stone after mile stone, my little boy is becoming a little man. You know it's times like these that always make me step back and take a closer look at him and evaluate the job I am doing as a Dad. I think I'm doing a good job. I think he's going to be a great man and make positive impact on our community. I love him!

Junie, Alea's man!

Everybody needs somebody... or so the saying goes. My friend Alea found her a man. He's a good man. His name is Raymond but he likes to be called Junie, he comes from the east coast, Virgina. He is smart, handy, helpful, kind and just an all around good guy. I like him and am glad to be able to call him my friend. He has taken on the responsibility of the two girls and that to me is stepping up and being a real man. Junie, welcome to the family.

another first for T.J.

Now I know that this may not be an exciteing thing for anybody. But is is a mile marker in the life of T.J. I found it yesterday, just sitting there, on the crease of his nose. Yes, T.J. got his first zit! It's a small thing but now he will be able to look back and know how old he was when....
