It's wierd to see how much James has grown up... even from just a year ago. He is a handsome kid. Happy Birthday yesterday, James!

Your last two posts make me feel soooo old. Your boys are great. I'm glad James is better looking than his father.

Dave,

Looking better than his father is not a hard thing to accomplish. Yes, James is a good looking kid, but comparing him to me is really setting the bar just slightly ahead of "can fog a mirror" in the looks department.

James is so awesome and has such great skills, like bow staffing skills, nun-chuck skills, and recently added hula hooping skills.

He just doesn't seem to fit the 'terrible' teen mode, he seems more like a 'terrific' teen!
