On January 8th, 1974, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had a bright eyed (blue to be exact) little boy named Eugene Gordon Jones III. He was given the nickname "Pete" soon after his birth and has been called that ever since. I thought I'd just so you some photos I found that I feel show a nice representation of the MANY different stages that Pete has gone through...
STAGE 1: Chubby and Adorable
STAGE 2: Well-Dressed and Smiley
STAGE 3: Athletic and Probably still nice to his Mom
STAGE 4: Awkward and Trying to be Cool
STAGE 5: Its hard to be cool while wearing matching turtlenecks?
STAGE 6: Bald and Intense
STAGE 7: Maybe bald was better?
STAGE 8: Thin and Serious
STAGE 9: Silly and Smiley
STAGE 10: In Love and Livin' it Up
STAGE 12: In-gaged and Nervous
STAGE 13: Married and Uncertain
STAGE 14: Working hard and Enjoying Life
STAGE 15: Skip a few years: Proud Papa and Loving Every Minute!
I hope I get to see many more stages of Pete Jones. He is a wonderful husband, father, and best friend. I treasure the adventure we have been on together, although sometimes a little rocky, the journey has been well worth it.
Happy 35th Birthday Wonderful! I love you (184).
