First Born

Michael was our first born. Born on July 1. I won't say how long ago but his next birthday will be one of those biggies with a "0" at the end. This portrait was made in a studio when he was four years old. I just love his little blond crew cut. He was the first grandchild on either side of the family and he was spoiled by everyone. He started walking before he was 10 months old and he was into everything. He liked music and he liked to build great structures with tinker toys. I thought he would be an engineer. But he ended up with an MBA from the University of Chicago and is into financial management.

Happy birthday, Michael.
