Wanted To Share Some Pictures of J.R.

I took these today. We were outside gathering some Avocados from our tree. He was so cute I ran in and grabbed the camera.

I can't believe he's been home for over a year and a half! Seems like yesterday we were on that flight home. He's gained 10 lbs since he came home and has grown 6 inches!

Thanks for letting me share!
