My Granddaughter Erin

Erin was a beautiful baby and is now a beautiful young lady. She gets all A's in school. She takes piano, clarinet and guitar lessons and is doing well with all of them. She also takes art lessons, and her paintings are really quite good. I have three of them hanging in my home.

These are a few pictures of her through the years. Needless to say, I love her dearly and I'm very proud of her.

The doll that Erin is holding was named simply "Dolly". She was a ragdoll that I gave her for Christmas when she was just nine months old. For several years, Dolly went with Erin just about everywhere, and out of necessity, Dolly got washed regularly. Unfortunately, Dolly was slowly falling apart. Christine sewed socks on her, as her feet got holes in them from being dragged around. I sewed her hair back in place and stitched her dress to her to keep it from falling off. Dolly now has a place of honor on a shelf in Erin's bedroom.

The last two pictures were taken in June 2010 just after her confirmation.
