Our oldest son is now 27. I am so proud of the man he has become. He is a joy to be around, and he is kind, honest, strong, smart, fun, and cute.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of David.  Laughing and playing in the rain..

David spent five years in the Marines. Here are a few pictures of his time in.

Ron, Uncle Bob & I went to Boot Camp Graduation February 2008

He was so serious during the ceremony. I was right in front of him trying hard to get him to smile. Look close and you can see him biting his cheek to keep from smiling.

Here are shots from over the years.
