Jennifer and Jonathan's Page

This page is dedicated to my little people, Jennifer and Jonathan. We'll put a couple of pictures up and tell you a little bit about them. I will update pictures as I get them.

Jennifer

Jen is my little princess. Listen to her talk now and she thinks she is all grown up. But she will always be the little curly, blonde haired 4-year-old squirt that I remember so fondly. She turned 16 in January (God!) and will be getting her license (OH MY GOD!). So she has been being VERY nice to old Dad.....hmmm....wonder why? She lives in Asheville, North Carolina with her mother (my ex-wife...Thank God!). Which kind of sucks since we are in Kansas City and that is quite the drive for a little visit. But we fly her out for visits when we can. She would probably want to kill me if she knew I was putting up this picture. Because, it a picture from 1996! I mean come on Dad...what are you thinking?! But here it is anyway. As soon as I get a copy of this year's picture I will put it up and yeah I think I'll put one of those little, curly headed 4 year old ones as well...hehe. So here you go. If you don't hear from me any more after this you will know why. Jennifer has hired a hitman and taken me out.....

So there are the pictures......a now and then kind of thingy. The one on the left is Jennifer's school picture from 1996. The one on the right is Jennifer and I at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina around 1987. See what I mean about the curly haired, little squirt?

Jonathan

Jonathan is my little dude. He just came to live with us when I came back from Okinawa. He's a little smart guy. A little too smart sometimes. He remembers some of the craziest stuff. I mean things from when he was 4 or 5 that I have no idea what he is talking about. Some of my most fond memories are of coming home when we were stationed in New Orleans. He was about 2 at the time. I would come home from work and as soon as I got in the door, he would come running down the hall full speed (there isn't any other speed at that age) yelling "Daddy! Daddy!" and plow into my legs. I used to love that. But he is 10 now and is growing up way too fast. I can remember bringing him home from the hospital holding him in the crook of my arm....and now he's my little man. How time flies....... Here are a couple of pictures of Jonathan.

And there you have it. The one on the left is this years school picture (1997). The one on the right is from the running down the hall era......he liked Daddy's "Marine Hat".

Alright, I got a new picture. I just got it today. It's a soccer picture of Jonathan. It's looking like such the little man now days. His team kicked much butt. They were number one in their division. Their record was 8-0 for the season. It was his first year, so he had a lot to learn. But he worked hard and has done pretty well. He'll be much better next year after we practice for a bit.

And here is one just for the heck of it. It's of me and the two of them....

This is from Halloween around 1989-1990. Cool lookin' demon huh? And I told you Jennifer was my little princess. And then there is Pumpkin Man. We had a lot of fun that year.
