This one on the left is the day
she was born: November 19, 1993;
Beth loved that little bouncy seat
in the other two photos; she usually slept in it and not her crib

Beth was a lot smaller, and I was
a lot skinnier back then;
Beth's baptism, with her godparents
Liz (Joni's big sister) and Lee Brewster

When she was a baby, I described
Beth as "Short, really cute, not much hair"



These are some of my favorite photos.
She named the stuffed animal in the middle photo, "Amy Armadillo"


Circa 1997: Beth with some of my
Warhammer 40K figures,

old room at pre-school


In February 1999, Beth became a
big sister
