Nik is awesome and he is photogenic on top of it all. But let’s not forget Nik’s Mom; I am so very glad that you are in his corner every hour of every day. Thanks for being you.

I LOVED this post! Such great pictures, just at face value…then add in the meaning of it all and wow.
Hoping your wrist feels better very soon and can’t wait to see how Nik spends the rest of the summer… Looks like it’s been a sweet one so far!

Thanks, everyone, for your sweet words.
Kajoli, that’s Miss T, Nik’s PT. I try to keep their faces out of the pictures if I know I’ll be posting them online.

I confess, I’m kinda nuts for the little guy, too. Oh, wait, I’m supposed to be aren’t I?

I was just reading an old post of VAB and realized just how quickly they are all growing up. He is absolutely adorable. I thought I’d better say that as pretty soon we’ll all be moving into pastures new.
Cheers
