Throwback Year 11


In 2011, JT was in 5th and 6th grade.  At 11, he was still a boy, though less and less little.  At the time, it was hard to believe that adolescence was coming.  In hindsight, it had us in its crosshairs.  The Winter of 2010-2011 was epic around here and we got boatloads of snow.  JT reveled in that and played outside in the snow for hours and hours.



In late January, he broke his thumb and had a cast for a few weeks.


In true JT fashion, it didn’t slow him down even a little bit.  We went on our usual assortment of adventures, from camping to baseball games.


There was plenty of time spent outdoors.


He got his first iPad.  He proved a proud and careful owner of it. 


In June, when our car needed towing, he sat in the driver seat and showed me how to be a true Jersey driver.


As I look at these photos, I still see a little boy.  That was about to change and though I am proud of the young man he’s become and the man he’s becoming, part of me still misses that sweet boy.
