Childhood Friends

There is something special about knowing someone since before they had inhibitions. You forge a connection. J, my mom, and I were looking through family pictures yesterday afternoon and came upon this one. He (yes, he!) isn't blood related. But he might as well be. And when you have people you call family even though they don't share the same tree, well, that qualifies as a bean.
Plus, I just really wanted this picture posted for the world to see! He doesn't do this anymore. All testosterone!
