Birthday Boy....

.....is 19 years old. Wow. I still remember like it was yesterday how nervous he was to start Kindergarten, as he had never been to preschool. Thank God for fantastic teachers, cuz after one day he loved Kindergarten and Mrs. Adams and she loved Joe (Joey, then).

Now look at this handsome lad...again experiencing a new school as a freshman in college. A bit taller :), a bit smarter :), and a whole lot more self confident.

Love ya, my sweet boy.

(And, BTW, he is wearing his new Texas Longhorn t-shirt

that his sister sent him from Dallas.)
