Dinner date with Firstborn

 I had dinner with an attractive fellow on Friday night.  We had Chinese food on paper plates in his tiny apartment.  I took him a beer.


Firstborn AKA Burlyman aka Spencer.
But when he was very little we called him Boober.


A couple of the photos made me catch my breath when I looked at them later.
His facial expressions are pure Mark.


He's not a fan of posing for photos.


My photography skills notwithstanding, he is 
a nice man who loves his family and works hard.  He has his head screwed on straight and is someone who will take the lead in his tribe of siblings. He has come a long way and learned a lot of life lessons.  I am proud of him and enjoy seeing him, so we need to have dinner together more often!

  4. Does anyone really enjoy having their picture taken?
    You have a handsome son and he sounds like a great guy!
    There's something special about the Mom/Son relationship I find.

  5. What a nice evening! To paraphrase the Bible, better a meal on paper plates with someone you love, than on the finest china with with strangers.
