Even though TB has now hit the double digits, he still follows Chris around, trying to do everything just like him – working in the yard, loving sports, demonstrating a competitive spirit, wanting to work at the same engineering firm when he grows up, wearing the same shoes.  Yep, even down to the shoes, TB wants to be just like his dad.  And who can blame him?  Chris loves God and family, is kind and generous, smart and dependable; and despite my ribbing him about it, Chris is funny.  TB couldn’t have a better role model to adore or a type of man to grow into.

Too bad TB’s odds of growing up are so slim.
