Me


Not that anyone has been demanding any pictures of me, but I've decided to supply one anyway. This image is of me at the grand old age of just under three months. I don't know whose hand is supporting me. I was going to post the color version, but the red-eye problem makes me look an awful lot like a baby vampire, and the dress is white anyway.

Doesn't it just make you want to run away screaming?

My little sister is working on digitizing all the family photos to preserve them for another generation. As part of the program, she's been figuring out the people in the various photos and making sure the important facts are recorded. Every family needs someone who is willing to make this sort of effort to preserve the past. Thanks to her efforts, I've got a bunch of school pictures sitting in my inbox that I half-wished I'd never see again. But, on the other hand, I've got this gem (vampire-baby with poofy hair!) and some classic shots of me with my brothers as a toddler.

Thanks to the efforts of my brothers, I've also got lots of information on my geneology. Most of my siblings have contributed to the efforts to figure out where we come from. This is why I know that I'm approximately half-German, a quarter Danish, and a quarter from around the British Isles. I think. I could be forgetting something important.
