Birthday boy.

My baby

is 17 years old.

It seems like yesterday

they were playing in mud city together.

and now they're going into the big city by themselves to see a DC United game.

Man-boy is a big soccer fan. In case you don't know, Kaká is a Brazilian soccer player on Real Madrid. You can read a little bit about him here, and here's a photo of him from a 2007 game:

Man-boy is good buddies with Ashton, who lives next door. They spend many hours in the woods playing airsoft.

Man-boy is all grown up. Until he gets a DVD of Tom & Jerry's best cartoons.

Be thankful ~
