( I think this is pretty much the perfect “summer fun” photo )
Our summer visit to The States is running down, and we've been so busy with family stuff and summer homework that it's hard to squeeze out time to process my photos and to write a post.
Last week, Anthony played at a community pool with a friend, 10-year-old Michael, and his next-door neighbor, 9-year-old Kenny....

Hunk
(sort of)
I thought this photo reminded me of the three-year-old Anthony “Hunk” photo, but now that I compare directly, it's not quite there, but I'll put the photo and link here anyway.

Your child is only young for a short period of time.
Enjoy him while you can. He and your wife can look
back on the
existence then, with much favour and joy.
