| A new name for this guy of mine is CJ, with the "C" standing for "Chef." |
| She was student body president in 5th grade, so her childhood name was prophetic. She is in 8th grade now, plays the bassoon, and still wants to run the Iditarod. She's hoping for voice lessons. |
| Well, why not? At age 2, you can be anything...and when you are 15 - you are! He is the reason all of us have these nicknames, which work perfectly well on the internet. |

| This was a summer day his cousins were looking forward to, because I told them he'd been practicing his tricks for at least four years. I'd walk while he skated to the middle school to practice whenever I visited. He didn't choose a "royal" name, because he'd been Batman since he was old enough to tie a cape on and fly. He really flies over the ramps now. |
| I can't believe I caught him in a mid-air flip. That is so cool! |
