We haven't spent that much time with Axel in his "older" years!! In fact, what I can mostly find are very young pics of him. He came to SoCal for a brief visit after he was born, before Alice went back to India.
But he was here often as a "little" kid - and so sometimes I keep thinking he's still a little kid. We had some fun summers with all the Kerksieks! But he doesn't seem to be in many of the pictures - maybe he was taking a nap!

I discovered a box of pictures labeled "Kerksiek to sort" and hit a motherlode here. They were pictures Alice has sent over the years. I will have to post some classic shots of Karl and Peter!!
This one is really especially charming - what a little man! Don't you love little boys in bow ties?
And you are just not a little boy without a cowboy outfit!
This is actually the oldest single shot of Axel I could find - you need to send me a senior picture, or you will always be portrayed on the Terrill blog as a kid!! (In fact, I think I post this shot every year on your birthday!)
When we were in La Paz last year, Axel was in the U.S., so we haven't seen him in awhile.
But current pictures or not, we want to wish you a very happy day - and a great new year ahead of you!!

Thanks for remembering him on his Birthday. We did breakfast in bed this morning. I will have to post the picture. We have started watching Hornblower (a friend here had the entire series) and they are great. Both Axel and Dale like them. Axel is much, much taller now. I can't believe that he is 18 already.
Good thing you found the movies - since Noah is only halfway through them!
I knew you would all love them though! Have the books come yet?
Not yet, but the mail is slow sometimes. I think that we will watch one a night. I can't see stretching them out that long. They are too exciting.
Harry and I watched 8 DVD's in 5 nights!!
We only have 6 DVD's. What are the titles of all of them, so we can order the ones we won't get to watch.
In order, they are, The Duel, The Fire Ships, The Duchess and the Devil, The Wrong War, The Mutiny, Retribution, Loyalty and Duty.
Actually I read that the Gregory Peck Hornblower of 1951 is the continuation of the story past Loyalty and Duty. Might be interesting to se that one too. I wonder if they are going to continue the series on A&E.
The Gregory Peck film is great!! Get it. Also, Marcie, my friend, told me that she'd read that they were planning to do more on HBO.
