One of my favorite pictures…

This is one of my favorite pictures of Timmy. Taken in NY November 2005, so Timmy was about 10 months old. Once upon a time, he had bright blue eyes. They’ve since darkened to more of a hazel color. When they were this bright blue, Timmy’s eyes were somewhat of a puzzle to Dave and … Read more

All Hail the WHOOPIE PIE!
