40 years and counting....

This posting is almost 40 years to the day. Perhaps one of the cutest babies I have seen – a divination of what was to come. You can see the poses were well thought out – especially with the phone. Everyone seems to think I use the phone quite excessively. Of course, I still have my hair, for which I am grateful, and still cute as a button ;-)
