My Favorite Picture


I have a picture on the wall in my office. It shows me in a hammock feeding my infant daughter, Erin, with a bottle. It’s one of my favorite pictures. I look so young in that picture. My hair is dark and I have a mustache instead of a beard. Erin, for her part, looks quite content.

On Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, Erin gave birth to her first child, Nathan Andrew Schaus. That makes my third grandchild and the first grandson. There were some complications during labor, but mom and son are doing just fine. I just look at that picture in the hammock and wonder…where have all the years gone?

I now have a new favorite picture… Welcome to the world, “Little Nate!”

With Love,
Gramps
