Benjamin


This is a picture of our Grandson, Benjamin. When Mrs A. went toUtah at Christmastime, she took this picture at the airport when she was coming home.

Benjamin insisted on helping her with her luggage, so here he is with her carry-on.

The trust and innocence in those eyes almost revives my hope for mankind.

We all start out with such eyes, but over time they become jaded and untrusting.

Oh, to be able to see the world through those eyes again!

He is adorable. I can always use someone to haul my luggage. Do they rent him out?

Denny: We need kids in our life to remind us of when the world was a bright and shiny thing and everything was a new experience.

Daphnewood: Who can look into those baby blues and not feell better about the world.
