Four Generations of "Seconds"

When I say "seconds" I am not referring directly to time. While the subject of this latest observation does involve time, it is indirectly, and is not the point. I also do not mean to refer to refills on food. While there is probably a very very long line of men in my family who return to main dishes for "seconds," this also is not the point of this observation.

Here is the point...it just dawned on me today, that I have a picture of four generations of second born children. Now, I'm not sure about my Grandfather (affetionately known as Papa Dutch). He may not be a second. I just haven't asked the question yet. I should know that. But in this picture you will also find Dad, me, and my son Nathaniel. All of whom were second born. Isn't that neat! I love this picture and will treasure it always. I'm so proud to be an Erdman.
