A Family of Portraits

“The first cry of a newborn baby in Chicago or Zamboango, in Amsterdam or Rangoon, has the same pitch and key, each saying, ‘I am! I have come through! I belong! I am a member of the Family!’”

from the prologue of The Family of Man,
Carl Sanburg

We are all of one Family, born and raised within the social confines of this world. Presented here are my dearest friends, the ever expanding Baird Family.

Do you keep an inventory of your growing family? If so, by what means do you collect this information and store it for future generations to come. I’d love to know how you are cataloging the changes by which time alters our age, relationships, growth, loss and gains.
