Our James is what you'd call "the complete package."
- He is a top ranked student at his high school.
- He excels in sports (basketball, baseball, karate, soccer).
- He is a talented writer who has earned accolades for his creative works.
- He is a phenomenal brother/cousin - fiercely loyal to, generous with, and protective of Adria and Louisa.
- He patiently (most of the time) indulges the shutterbugs (his mom and aunt) when they start snapping away.
-
He is supportive of his friends and teammates.
- He is competitive, yet humble.
- He is a fine judge of character.
- He loves his dog, as a good boy should.
- He is beautiful, inside and out.
James affectionately calls
Uncle Joey and Dave (
Mikey's dad)
his personal baseball coaches.
We're a silly family. It's true.
Believe it or not, we have friends who are just as silly.
Oh, what a lucky, goofy bunch we are! :)
That's
Mikey, hugging (throttling?) James.
Doesn't he look the "fairest of them all" in the girls' Snow White headband?
