Book for Lauren

I've been having so much fun writing a book for my granddaughter, Lauren's 4th birthday. I've been planning to do this for a long time so everytime we are together I've been taking pictures of us doing some of our favorite things. I'm putting the pictures in a book form and have titled it "My Granny and Me" so it's written from Lauren's perspective. I'm hoping that it will remind her often of me since we can't be together very much. Below is the first page of the book.

Another New Granddaughter

February 28th, Coriena Pam Hersman was born to Erik and Rinnie (our daughter). She weighed 9.4 lbs, exceeding the birth weight of both her older sisters, Lauren and Meredith. I was able to visit the family March 3-13. (a special thank you to some friends in Annapolis whose Christmas gift paid for my ticket). March 5-9, Erik had to be away for business so Sarah and Joanna came to visit as well as Anna. We had a great time together. Here's a few pictures: Coriena in a dress that Rinnie wore; Rinnie and Coriena; Sarah and Joanna; Anna with her two baby nieces; the four cousins.
