My Cast of Characters

For those of you who are kind of wondering what kid goes with which nickname, I'm posting photos. The top is "Patrick" who will be 14 this fall. He *loves* chess and games with strategy. There is almost no question that he will beat about anybody at Clue. Next is the Emperor who will be 6 soon. He has just graduated from preschool and is very energetic. G, age 12, and baby J (six months old) are in the next picture. G will, despite all my training of him otherwise, just scoop that little baby up and bring him over to cuddle on the couch or chair. He loves to play with baby J and can't stand seeing him by himself! The last picture is my little Elf, who just turned 7. He is holding the green beans he grew very proudly. His little bracelet tells emergency people that he has asthma.
