Carlos Eduardo Carbajal

Carlos Eduardo Carbajal struck a pose at my house recently the minute he saw me with my camera. He and his mother, my niece Terry Dale Cavet, and her husband, James Cavet, had come to dinner. Carlos, who is my great-nephew, is all energy and all little boy. He just turned 5 this summer. Terry and James are in the process of adopting him. I think his idea of how to pose for a picture has been heavily influenced by martial-arts movies. It was still in the 80s and very humid that night, so we decided to eat inside instead of out on the deck. Carlos was greatly disappointed. He wanted to go play in the dirt.
