This sweet little guy, whose photo I took on Valentine’s Day in February of 2000, is now 16 years old and has been down on the couch with a virus this week.
Hopefully he’s back in action soon.

The Scout, before he was a Scout or a SnakeMaster, was a Kindergartner trying on SuperDad’s Kevlar helmet and bulletproof vest prior to deployment. Photo taken October 2005.
Awwww! Happy Birthday to him!
Not his birthday (that’s in July) — just thinking about how sweet he was as a baby and how sweet teenage boys can be even when they are sick.
Thanks for the photos. The second one is how I picture Snake Master whenever I think of him. Sixteen, my how the time has gone by.
I hope he feels better sooooooon. And that you stay well.
