given the shit we've been through, dillon opening his present for his 9th birthday this morning was a very special moment for me.
of course the whole thing was tinged with sadness, but clearly not for the little chap as his mind was on other far more important matters.

Schwantz's kids were mere babbies when I started reading ILX. Seeing that makes me feel so old. So cute.
Mark - that look on his face is pure magic. <3

no diss to anyone else on this thread, but damn michael jones, i am jealous of your photo taking skillzzzzz.
i take it taking pics is a hobby/job of yours
i.e. both those last photos of lulu are heartmeltingly wonderful.
― mark e, Thursday, 21 June 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link
Aw, thanks! Yes, hobby and very occasional paying job. I wish I had more video/audio of them...I can barely remember their voices from when they were 2 or 3...

getting pics of lil'monsters without them realising and then acting up = proper skill.

As a matter of fact, he still has one pair of Spiderman socks that he hasn't worn through. He's started wearing them again as he has recently started reading Spiderman comics (and writing his own). He's eagerly anticipating this summer's movie, but is skeptical of the need to reboot the whole franchise.

one extra special treat that i sorted out for the lads while at camp bestival this weekend.
mine = big lad on left, and little lad on right.
other is family friend.
the cheeky chaps were lovely. really nice (and funny).
one proper buzz for 2 lads who needed a pick-me-up after the crappy year we've all had :-)

oh, and for non-brits .. the 2 chaps are dick-n-dom who have done a lot of stuff on kids tv channels.
