webinar: Wordless Wednesday - My Son Ryan at my Office with me
- 10/17/12 02:24 PM
I bring my son Ryan to my office from time to time. He loves to hang out with his daddy, say hi to my staff and watch YouTube videos on the second screen of my dual screen Mac.
He likes to sit on the same chair that I am sitting in, but usually likes to climb in behind me so I can keep working.
My assistant snapped this picture of us, without me even knowing she taking it, and it has become one of my favorite pictures.
