This is one of my favorite pictures of Laura with a lap full of little girls, our granddaughters, Julianna and Lydia. In 1977 at Memorial Hospital on May 24, Laura was born. Patt's first cousin, one of the twins, Jane, from just down the road assisted in her birth, - so Laura's small town orientation or small world exposures started early. As Patt and Laura stayed in the hospital a week, I got to spend a lot of time in the nursery rocking and holding and feeding Laura so we got off to a great father daughter start and she remains special to me yet.
Laura has in turn with Matt had two beautiful and fun daughters which delight their grandparents (on both sides so very very much)
and an exceptionally handsome grandson, Isaac, who helps make for a very full apartment. He too delights his grandparents!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA ELIZABETH !! WE LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH
Thanks for posting such sweet memories Dad. I'm sure glad you held and rocked me so many many times! love, Laura
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for loving Laura so well all these years! I am thankful to have such a wonderful wife and know that you two played a huge part in her becoming who she is today.
