Tink, is your son the real James Bond????? ...LOL What a resemblance!

Joel is a very nice looking young man and Shannon is really very pretty. She does have a beautiful smile.

Cute pictures of both of them! I bet they make a really cute couple. ;)

Thanks ladies.
I've always thought of James Bond as Sean Connery... Oh I love to look at that man! So to be told I am now the MOTHER of James Bond, is a bit of an ego deflator. LOL I was rather shocked when I first saw the poster of the new James Bond. I'd been told he looked like Joel, but couldn't imagine it. Now I understand. LOL

Shannon is a cutie, isn't she? She's from the Phillipines, so that's where she gets her island girl good looks.

Aww, they are both so cute! :) You must be such a proud mama.

:p PS. My younger brother's name is Joel, too. (He is 22; 23 in August.)

Your son does look a lot like James Bond!! Shannon is a very beautiful girl! I have some friends that are from the Phillipines and my doctor is from there too. In fact his brother is running for mayor of Manilla at the moment and my doctor is there to keep track of his blood pressure!!!

Awww they look cute. :)

Have you had a chance yet Tink to have that talk with your son's girlfriend? I know you're wanting the situation to change and just wanted to wish you some luck with it all. I wouldn't wait too long, things have a way of festering.

Thanks for asking Janet.

I've been waiting for Joel to talk to her and he's suddenly become a gutless wonder instead. He went to the races Friday night with a male friend and left Shannon home. Saturday he went to a different friends house and stayed there till Sunday night, leaving her behind again! He seems to think he can ignore her into leaving him! Luckily Katie has taken her to her place to keep her company, so I haven't had to sit here with her feeling bad all weekend.
I tried to talk with him about it last night, and he just really couldn't even explain himself. He's usuallynot afraid to do anything... and breaking up with her respectfully is just too much for him. :confused:
