Laura and Rob(the only picture I have of them)
The proud parents!
9lbs 2 ounces 21inches longIt is fun watching my little sister (Whom is 11 years younger) become a mom.
I remember when she was born. I had two brothers and desperately wanted a sister. I was Laura's' second "mommy". I carried her around proudly, wishing she was my own. I was one of those girls who always got a baby doll for Christmas, cause I loved playing house. In 1981, I had a real baby to play with.
I gave her plenty of nicknames. I have a found memory of when she was four and got into my makeup and spread it all over my bedspread! But, how can you get mad at such a cute face.
She was with me when I got into a car accident, minor fender bender. She was my little buddy. She was there watching me get dressed for the stake dances. She was there when I graduated from High School.
Then.....I left to college, mission and marriage. It was sad to miss her teenage years.
She and I loved it when she would stay a week with Shane, Baby Dylan and I. She still was my little buddy then.
Now, she is a mama. I am in awe with her strength and love for her new baby. My baby grew to a mother. I love her, miss her and very proud of her.

He's so cute! I love the mental images of your baby doll baby sister.
What a sweet, sweet post! How exciting to have a new little babe in the family!
What a cute baby!!!
Your sister and I are the same age. I was born in 1981, too.
This is the first picture I've seen of Harrison. What a cutie! I can see Rob in him. Grandma tells me how sweet and calm he is. And when he crys, Laura just talks to him and he quiets right down. What a great little mommy. Hope to see and hold him soon. Send more pictures if you have some.
I love your stories of Laura. How we adore her.
