Baby Book

Grandma kept a wonderfully detailed record of Dad’s first couple of years; much more so than she was able to do for her other children. Since her writings are as much a treasure as are the photos, I have simply scanned in the entire book, and present it with little or no comment.

This photo was from an otherwise blank section on later birthdays, next to “4th Birthday”
