<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">This is Otto.  I struggle to connect with him.  He&#8217;s my most stand-offish child, not very affectionate but seems to have a mind for science.  And a penchant for fine footwear.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Here are my twins, Gus and Otis.  Little rascals, full of fun and love.  Sitting in my favorite deck chair.  Up to no good, I&#8217;m sure.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">And here we have, from left to right, Petey, Hazel and Solomon.  I can&#8217;t claim Petey.  He&#8217;s an ever present kid from the neighborhood. But little Hazel and Sol are rocking my good looks.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">And here is little Orly with her favorite doll baby, Willa.  She has me sewing frocks for that doll day and night.  I whipped this one up last night, I didn&#8217;t work from a pattern, just an image from her imagination and my mad skills.</p>
