Beautiful, Beautiful Boy (s)


Look how much my handsome boys have grown! Lee, Samuel, Matthew and William. I blinked and they grew up.

Beautiful Boy, John Lennon

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy....

Where there's a Will...

This picture is taken in Kentucky when William went to the Army Leadership Training Course. Alan loves this picture of William because he is in his ACU's (Army Combat Uniform) and filthy-dirty. I think it's because of the really BIG gun William is holding...



Don't you just LOVE this picture? I want to blow it up, mat it, frame it, hang it in the living room for everyone to see...What a chick-magnet he is! It's a good thing he has his father's good looks.



The Unit theme song. Fitting for my Army son.
