This photo was taken on Halloween 1996. In some ways, it seems 1996 was just yesterday and, in other ways, it seems like one hundred years ago. I remember Pierce sitting beside me the entire time I sewed this costume - making certain that his "uniform" was "authentic" enough. And, boy, did he think he was something as we toured the neighborhood, visitng family and friends on Halloween night.
He broke his arm at the school playground during recess when he took a nasty fall from the monkey bars. Pierce, being Pierce, stated that the cast on his arm just made his impression of a civil war solider all the better because he truly looked like he had been wounded in battle.
I still can't believe my baby boy is now 21 year old man. Rather than wanting to sit on my lap, he looks down to speak to me. I can no longer carry him on my hip, he carries me around the house when he is in a joking mood.
I wonder where the time went?
