i never knew i was so happy until i saw yr beautiful face

gabriel daniel-thomas stone attended the first grade today.


he had his suspicions about this whole "homework" thing he's been hearing about.


so, hows about a quick game of b-ball to loosen up before class? sure.




it's hard when everybody wants to take yr picture.


success!! so to celebrate we crashed the oakwoods swimming pool to have a father/son First Day of First Grade Afterparty.


gabe showed off his new underwater swimming skills: underwater somersaults, handstands, frog AND doggie paddles.


and one heck of a mean cannonball too. very impressive!


the sun went down and we had a rumble in our tummies.


gabe's got a fan club of hot chix to laugh at all his jokes. fan club president michelle larkin wouldn't miss this dinner for the world.


and don't forget his girl-on-the-side, pretty lil' malysa wilson. watch out larkin, you got competition.


i am so proud that you are my son gabriel...
i love you buddy.
thank you god.
