some people have asked about laurel's name. well, if you know pat very well then you weren't at all surprised with our choice of laurel as her first name. both of pat's parents and then pat and ginger were born and raised in the small town of laurel, mississippi. pat's grandfather, bill patrick, was mayor of laurel for 12 years. we think of "laurel" as a family name from both the rayner and the patrick side of pat's family. her middle name, katherine, comes from my dad's mom, katherine estes johnston - she went by "kitty" but was known as "momee" to her 8 grandkids and 8 great-grandkids. laurel katherine is the first johnston to be born after momee's death last january. i consider it an honor to give her name to our little girl.
pretty in pink
these were from monday - i'm a little behind
she has one of her daddy's expressions in this picture. just imagine big bushy black eyebrows...
our tiny valentine. does anybody remember that toy called the glowworm back in the 80's? well, i think laurel looks like one when she's swaddled up like this.
