a priceless photo book

As I mentioned, one of the treasures found in my cleaning escapade this weekend was a photo album my Mother put together for me in 2003. Here is what she wrote:



Melissa,

Since you are married now, I thought making this album would be something to make you smile and remember your childhood and beyond that. You know how much I love pictures so here is a part of my love for you to love....



Forever,

Mom

Christmas 2003



Thank you Mom for being such an amazing Mother and person. Here you are holding me at just two days old.....I can only imagine how excited yet nervous you and Dad were. Just like I will be come January.

Here is Dad and I on his 24th birthday at the cabin! (24 years old? Wow, so young!) I love you Dad.

And me taking a bath where Mom would love to do my hair....

And here's Justin and I with some type of bunny looking thing.

No need to worry Mom. I have the love of pictures instilled in me for life and look forward to putting together albums for my children so they can remember it all.

Love always,

your picture loving daughter (thanks to you Mom)
