When Childhood Affection Becomes an (Extended) Family Affair...
The late morning party at the poolside of the local tennis-cum-swimming-random-conference-hosting family club was reaching its climax: the little star of the party: a baby boy turning one-year-old tomorrow was about to blow the candle on his little birthday cake from the comfort of his mom's lap. The entire attendance of the party, some two dozen family members, friends, and coworkers, gathered around the cake, the boy, and the happy parents, clapping and singing the birthday song. They broke into spontaneous laughter every time the boy cooed or smiled, and captured all that on their cameras.
