The photo of your dad and your baby is so touching. It brought tears to my eyes. I will enjoy the times we have with my dad still here. Life is so fragile. Congratulations - I know these are older pictures and your baby is grown up now. I really enjoyed seeing them.

You both have a beautiful baby!!! I see her smiling and I really believe that babies that young are able to smile-my youngest daughter, Krista, smiled at 3 weeks. She is 8 years old now. Emily is a little sweetie. Congratulations!!!

Great photos of a darling girl! The reflection of Emily in the crib mirror in #1800 is wonderful. She's a charmer. Keep those photos coming. - Sue (Uncle John's Mom).

My favorite is 1701. Kenny, you look like such a proud papa, and I agree with Brian. I would love a family photo.

She is beautiful!!!

Looks real good! I can't say that she looks like her mom and dad because I'm not sure what they look like. How about next set of pictures you include a shot of mom and dad.
It sure is fun raising a family, especially when they are so small. Congratulations and bon voyage!

Dear Clare and Kenny--what a beauiful gallery!--and what a beautiful baby. You're right, Clare--she must be growing like a weed--she's barely 5 weeks old--right? You are doing a good job--it shows.

We had a good visit with your Mom and Dad, Clare. I want to get back to visit in the fall. Once a year just isn't enough.

Much love, Aunt Karen ^..^

Hi Clare and Kenny(?) Hope I got Dad's name right. Emily is beautiful. I like the 1771. She looks as if she has a joke on you! If you don't remember me, I'm an old buddy of your Mom's and you met met last trip to Albemarle. I"m glad she's finally a grandma. Nothing to beat it! Take good care of your little girl. She is very fortunate to have parents and grandparents like y'all. Julie
