Yes, it’s Big Johnny and my little buddy, Willie…
Most of you have pretty much watched Willie grow up on this blog. You first met him when he was still inside his mommies’ tummy at John and Eva’s wedding… remember that? Now he is two, and we took him to the little train in the park right after Christmas. But you have to wait for that…
Because earlier, at my mom’s house, I got a few pictures of the way Big Johnny looks at his kid, and if that doesn’t melt your heart and make you want to meet John… then your heart needs to grow a couple of sizes…
John was just watching Willie opening a few presents we got him.
But there is so much love on that face… in those eyes… sniff…
I love that Big Johnny guy.
Pouring My Art Out 
I saw them after I posted my comment! Where did Willie get all those curls? His hair has always been so short I guess I didn’t know he had all those curls!
they were hiding in his head
I couldn’t see any of the pics!
what???
I love that boy’s simple smile! and his messy air too… cute!
I wish I remember being that age.
In fact my heart is two sizes too small, but yet I find few things more endearing than a big tough guy going all soft over a sweet little kid. Thanks for showing us the pictures.
now I need to scan a bunch of the pictures of me with my daughters as babies…
I love pictures of dads with their little kids, especially really big dads and really little kids. There’s just something about a big, tough-looking guy holding an infant or toddler that makes me go “aw” every, single time.
yay
Heart warming Art. thank you for sharing.
