I had tears in my eyes watching the slide show. I remember all the preparations for Mika and David's wedding, and of course Mika's bridal portraits done by your niece. She did a gorgeous job photographing Marlee.
The slide show is beyond precious!! Love the tutu, the string of pearls and the adorable headbands. Miss Marlee Pearl is such a cutie-pie..and I do believe has her Lollie wrapped around her finger! :-)
Congratulations and much love to all!

What beautiful pics of little Marlee Pearl.Great job.
I love the one of her holding,is it great grandmama's hand?Love it.
Also love her with the sock monkey.
My son had his sock monkey made by his grandmother until he was 5 and lost the head(yes that was all that was left of him)in the sand box.
Enjoy these wonderful moments with the precious little one.
She is beautiful.Blessings,Becky

Tina I had to put her on full screen and it was as though she was here. Heck I wanted to kiss the computer screen. Loved the one
of her crying and the one with her mom, you and your mom. Don't forget to take the four generation picture. Marlee Pearl is like playing with "Tiny Tears" the doll from the 50's. She is beautiful and I hope we get to see her grow up on here. Love seeing her sweet pictures even with Aunt Kathy.

That Miss Judy is just one of the sweetest souls walking this earth. I love the pillow that she made for you!!! It is precious!
Talent runs so deep in your family, Tina. I so enjoyed watching the video that Tambi made. It is absolutely PRECIOUS! I loved seeing the rings on her fingers and her little hand holding your dear mamma's hand. And of course, you and Kathy are beautiful, too.
Blessings,
Becky

Tambi did a great job - I'd love for her to take some pictures of Sam Curtis some day!! Would love to see her, it's been years! These are so good Tina....to see that little hand holding Margie's hand was the sweetest of all. Love all of you!

We love Marlee dearly. And it was so much fun being there taking the pictures and loving on that new little girl. Our family was given a new life to the family and we know our daddy is looking down with the biggest smile ever on her.We are proud of Mika and David`s little joy and so happy Tina is a grandmother now. Nothing could get us down now. Our mom is loving the trips to Flint to visit her. And when Mika can she brings that sweet girl to mom`s.And most of all thanks to Tambi for surprising us all with her video of Marlee Pearl. Tina will be a fantastic grandmother. Love to you, Kathy Sue
