Yeah that second pic of him is great - he gets that look on his face all the time, it's downright hilarious. He's a very pleasant little boy... I can't get over how blessed we are to have him.
He's changed my outlook on life so much... the last few years I've tried to be a positive person as much as possible, but after my best friend died in 2001, I have to admit that I've been a bit down on my personal future, and in a way became a recluse - I had gotten to a point where I would rather sit at home and customize and not go out with my friends at all. Losing someone very close to me in the manner that it happened stopped me in my tracks. This whole hobby of Star Wars collecting, customizing and forum chatting has been what I've turned to for the past 6 years.
Even after losing my friend, I've tried to stay being a pretty optimistic person, but I have to admit that I've never felt more positive about things and the meaning of life than I do now. Having Kiefer has turned me into more of the social person again that I used to be - but not to where I'm going out drinking like I used to, but starting to chat with my old high school and college friends more... I've even started going to church again, which has really been great as I feel that my wife and I have never been closer than we are right now. She's been wanting me to go since we got married, and I barely ever did. But now we go as a family of three and I've never been happier.
Having a little one is definitely the best thing that has happened in my life.
