Plants a hope.

He looks very proud, but would he be happy to be called a child? Looks like a young man to me. How old is he?

At the time of the shot he was 14, but today 2 years later he's 6' 3". I've replaced him with a younger boy at 12 taken during the same tennis event.. I hope this is better fit within the contest boundaries.Sorry.

My wife happens to be president of the school board, and as such she hands out the diplomas at graduation. When my son graduated, he chose that serious occasion to swoop down on his mom and give her a big, unexpected hug! (5 years and 3413 days ago)
