Mini-Traveller

My nephew, Ford Patterson, was born on May 7th in Columbia, SC and I think he's the cutest thing ever! He is my first nephew and my parents first grandchild, so it's ultra special. I can't believe I'm an aunt. I can't wait to meet him and begin to corrupt him. :) Isn't that my role as an aunt? Especially because I want to be the coolest aunt. Honestly, how much influence can I really have on this little one? Maybe I will be able to take him along on some of my travels or help contribute to his spirit for travel and the arts.

I wonder what technology will be around when he is 30 years old? I wonder if he will be an earth conscious hippie or a wall street mogul?

How much of growing up is the environment around him and how much is coming from heredity? Only time will tell.
