Researching geneology

So my mom and dad have the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather! Good thing I was adopted. ;)

I got this text from Daniel shortly after resolving an incident where I got involved with Dan's lack of discipline but complete and utter exhaustion with Daniel's teenager-ness, and it made Daniel angry, saying that it should have just been between him and Dan (which offended me for some reason at the time):

From: Daniel
just want u to no that never once liked arguing or being angry with u, u mean to much for me that and it wont ever change u mean the world to this family and i would never even think of treating u as if u werent part of the family. love

Heartbreaking

Who's that stud?

Rod went to one of Daniel's tennis matches the other day. Here he is - he's such a good player, there are articles in the local newspaper about him all the time. I'll have to find one of them soon and link it here.
