The Day of His Birth

Happy birthday to our son! He's on tour with a band for whom he is the sound person during live performances. It's pretty fun for him, because he recorded them at his studio when they weren't so acclaimed, and now they're quite The Thing. We get to see him in a couple of weeks, when the tour brings them through Sin City. Very exciting!

He's toured before with another group and we went to watch in L.A. It was fun to watch him do his job because he's got skills.

 

Here he is at the "board" in the club in L.A. where we watched him during the performance.

 

He was born in the living room on a lovely sunny morning in Southern California, while his two sisters played out in the yard. His older Kindergarten brother had debated whether or not he should go to school that day. But, there was a field trip, and that was pretty compelling. So, he went to school; after all the baby would still be there when he got home. (P.S. the living room was a planned event...we had a midwife.)

 

 

He was a charming little fellow who joined right in to all the family fun. He's been a free-thinker and used his gifted brain to set himself apart for all of his life. Here are a few photo memories in honor of this great day!
