A Man of the Same Name...

Over one weekend in August, Jamey had a special visit from his Uncle Jim, who happens to share his name.  Although he wasn't named after Jim, them sharing their names is an excellent coincidence.  After watching Jim's three boys grow to where they are now, it was wonderful to be able to show off my son to him.  Perhaps the coolest thing about Jim's visit was the special gift Jamey received from him.

While here, Jim said that he wanted to get us something that we needed.  What with all the 
hand-me-downs and gifts we got, we really didn't need anything.  The only thing we were still looking for was a toybox for Jamey's room.  Suddenly a lightbulb went on over Jim's head.  He decided that he would get Jamey a toybox and paint it for him.  Well, after fervently searching (for roughly an hour) the local Michael's and other craft stores, we returned to the place we 
started-- Babies R Us-and bought an already finished toybox to be painted with a 
design.  Due to the cowboy theme in Jamey's room, Jim went online and looked up different cowboys.  To make a long story short, here is the end result!
