Our "Model" Son

We have been calling John our "poster boy" for about two years now...he has randomly appeared as a model on the North Park website, the Covenant Companion, Covenant Harbor/Point publications...and even in the U.S. News and World Report magazine! Somehow, it all got started with an offer for free food ($5.00 worth, I think) and to date, that is his total sum of money made! So, imagine our surprise when John told us he was next going to appear on a BILLBOARD! We checked it out this weekend, and made total fools of ourselves as we stood in the middle of this two-way street on Ravenswood and Peterson (by Lake Shore Drive). Thanks to the kind man who took our picture there! And also to the drivers who didn't run us over!! Ah, to be parents.
