Bantam9 Becomes...

Bantam10 today!

His party was yesterday, though. Here he is (on the far right) with all but one of the other nine-year-old boys from Light of Christ. He's the first domino to fall--all the rest will be turning ten over the next few months!! Aren't they a handsome little group?

Er...maybe not.

(Pity the one nine-year-old girl at church!)

In honor of his birthday, we present "The Many Faces of Bantam10."

The goofy one.

The serious one.

(This was his "Great American Melting Pot" costume from Schoolhouse Rock.
That moustache got bigger and droopier every time I drew it!)

His pensive side.

(Although it's perfectly possible that there's less going on there than meets the eye.)

The cheerful face.

Whatever face he puts on, he always makes us laugh!

Bantam10, you are a delight.
We are so glad you are a part of this family!!

And now, for your added viewing pleasure: "The Many Faces of Bantam4"! (His birthday was Monday.)

The exuberant one! This is his most common face. He loves his life.

His quiet, loving face.

That is his new doll--"Joe."

Here is another loving face. This one is rougher and noisier!

This, one might call his ham-face. He is our little clown!
