Welcome to our Family,
Mum and
Dad
2010
My Family
The
family is like a book.
The
children are the pages
The
parents are the cover
That
protecting beauty gives.
At first
the pages of the book
Are blank
and purely fair,
But time
soon writeth memories
And painteth pictures there.
Love is
the little golden clasp
That bindeth up the trust;
Oh, break
it not, lest all the pages
Should
scatter and be lost!

Homecoming
for Michelle
Before I
was even born Mommy and Daddy were busy at home preparing for my arrival. A
special place was made just for me at our home in Pukekohe, Auckland. In my room were many toys, games and
wonderful presents.
One of my
favorite gifts is My Baby Book.
Michelle Makes an
Impression
This is
my very first picture. Mommy and Daddy were so excited to have a baby girl like me. Everyone thought I was the world's cutest baby!
Don't you think so, too?
