Blogging Roller: They grow up faster while you are away

They grow up faster while you are away

Whenever I'm away from my boys, even for a couple of days, I find that when we are re-united, the little guys look like they've each grown a year. Andi sent me the picture below and, sure enough, Leo (who just turned 2) is looking like such a big boy and not the baby that he was only the week before.

JavaOne is fun, but I miss that little guy (and you guys too, Alex and Linus).

Hey Dave, did you name Linus after The Great Thorvalds (out of sheer admiration I guess), or is it just a co-incidence ;)

Yes, sheer admiration, but my wife thinks he is named after Linus the Harrison Ford character in the film Sabrina, my Dad the chemistry professor thinks he is named after Linus Pauling, and Linus himself likes the idea of being named after Linus Van Pelt of Peanuts fame. See, everybody wins.
