... and his name is Robert Eugene Thomas. He is 9 years old and lives in Alton, IL. He is a very excitable young man, but he's clearly pretty smart too. He makes A's and B's in school. His life will not be easy, but hopefully we (Nancy and I) will be able to make a difference in his life. I know he will make a difference in ours.
We've only known Robert for about 3 weeks, but so far we've gone to McDonald's to eat ice cream, Dave & Buster's to play video games, and the Science Center, which we went to yesterday. Hopefully I'll be writing good things about Robert for years to come.
