I’ve always avoided showing any pictures of myself or my family here, or mentioned much personal info about them. That may or may not be necessary, but it’s the choice I’ve made to this point. However, since it’s three years old now and he’s changed quite a bit since then, I did want to share this.

On his fourth Halloween tonight, my son has chosen to be “Batman”. But his first costume - the one I got to choose for him - is still my favorite (not surprisingly.)

Beautiful, isn’t it? That is us at our church’s 2004 “Trunk or Treat” in Huntsville, Alabama, where we lived until the following summer. He didn’t really understand it at the time, but I’m sure some day he’ll look back and thank me.

And maybe in another 15 years or so, he’ll be dressing up like this.

    I wish I had thought of that. Pure parenting genius.

    Now just teach him to yell “GTHC!” and the indoctrination will be complete.

    I’ll have to do that when my wife isn’t home…

    Will you still love him if he becomes a Tarheel’s fan? :D

    Just so you know, I’ve now added you to my blacklist for even suggesting such a thing…
