Where did the time go?  He is still my sweet and kind boy, not yet jaded by the ways of this world.  I hope to keep him as innocent as possible for as long as possible but it's hard to do that in this day and age.   I love my...

Wordless Wednesday: Iron Man

On this busy, busy day I decided to share a simple photo of my son Alaka'i in his Iron Man costume at our church celebration for Hallow Him (on Halloween).
