This collection of photos pre-dates my mommy and daddy's scanner, so you'll find lots of baby pics you've probably never seen before. This first shot is of me in my snow suit--the one Mommy's Teet-tart bought for me the Christmas before I was born. I am very warm and snuggly in here, but it was pretty chilly in April that year.

"On Children"
Kahlil Gibran
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Here I am showing off my famous "giggle smile." Grandpa likes to take lots of pictures of me--so many, in fact, one of my early words was, "cheese!"(Age: 5 months)
My favorite purple "pug" is never far away; I probably have four or five of these. Want one? They're yummy! (Age: 5 months)
