Happy Birthday To Will

Born on the opening day of firearms deer season in Michigan, here is my first born with his first born. This photo happens have been taken on Will's first Father's Day in June of 2010. Miss Hannah is loving the camera, as usual.

On the day of this photo, Ed and I met Will and Wendy and Hannah in Port Huron for Father's Day brunch at the Thomas Edison Inn along the St. Clair River. The photo was taken at a nearby playground where we enjoyed watching Hannah on the swings after brunch.

Will was born on a snowy Thursday in Bad Axe. We brought him home to our first house in Pigeon on West Pigeon Road. Ed was working as a lineman for Pigeon Telephone Company at the time and was often assigned to work in Twining across Saginaw Bay. My mother-in-law Pauline was a big help to me in those first mothering days. She answered lots of questions and guided our little family with great elan. Will was her second grandchild (Jason Richard being the first) and second grandson, with many more to come.

Happy Birthday, William Edwin!
