Melissa, he is sooooooo cute!!!!
He has an expression I cannot put my finger on- like his mind is elsewhere--- his eyes speak volumes.
LOVE the lighting and tones

LOL Jen! ...that expression would be "anxiety" - he just started middle school and is having a really tough time adjusting (poor kid).

I took this right before we had to leave for school ;) #4792196

He will adjust, Melissa. It's a tough switch for boys especially...
Hang in there!
This is a very sweet image of him though.
