Here's my new buddy Jo Jo! Oh my, I would totally LOVE to hang out with this spunky little boy. We had family portraits first with momma Lora (one of my BFF!!!), daddy John and big brother Jaime (one of my son Ryan's BFF!!!)Anyhow, after all the serious stuff for Christmas cards, I asked Jo Jo to come outside with me to go take some pictures. I felt like we turned the pages of Tom Sawyer or....maybe more like Huck Finn. We were both barefoot, with a chill in the air and the sun starting to set, I knew we were in for an adventure. Jo Jo went running down his yard toward a gate and said, "follow me!" Off we went in through a gate and up a path near a wash. Jo Jo immediately went into the wash...so I followed him. He talked and opened up and showed me the ropes of his "backyard." He seemed really familiar with the tunnels and dogs barking. Even running back up the embankment toward the dogs as he ran his hand along the fence as the dogs jumped wildly at him. YES, he was teasing them. He climbed up a bridge and crossed dangerously high above another bridge crossing. He told me we had to be careful because sometimes they release LOTS of water. I can imagine Jo Jo living out in the country climbing trees, catching frogs, snakes, worms, fish. I LOVE this kid! More to come of Jo Jo.
