Tom has been waiting to give Alan this 22 since he bought it a few years ago from our friend Toby. It will stay in Tom's safe, and Alan will never be allowed to handle it without his Dad around until he's 18. We figure 18 is a good age to wait for, since you have to be 18 before you can buy a gun. But he's going to a junior shooting class on Ft. Benning (run by his Dad and a 3 time Olympian), and so we figure it's a good time to let him have his own gun. He's super excited.
Also, since yesterday was Alan's real birth day, we had a small family party and made him a giant cookie for dessert.

I want a giant cookie...mmmmm
Wow! His own gun. Alan must be stoked. That cookie looks yummy to. I am glad that he had a good birthday. Tell the kiddos hi for us.
