Jennifer Elizabeth Ross, born on April 7th of 1968 (weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces), sits a trifle confused on Daddy's lap as the new addition to the family is introduced in our livingroom at 1920 Bloor Street West. Robert Douglas Ross, cradled in his Mommy's arms, had just been born on August 7th of 1969 (weighing in at 6 pounds 7½ ounces). This is the first photograph of our family together.

In March of 1970, we had scraped together sufficient cash and mortgage loans to invest in a home in the Willowdale district of North York in Metropolitan Toronto.
