Your Missouri Grandparents



Dear Laney,

When you were two weeks old, we had a visit from your grandparents Joe and CC - they came all the way from Missouri to see you.

They had a great time holding you and feeding you and hanging out with you, and while they were here, they bought you a SWING. Yes, the great love of your life, the swing. It has six speed settings, from "barely moving" to "baby catapult," and you can set it to play the worst noise I've ever heard and you LOVE IT. Sometimes, I put your swing in the kitchen while I'm cooking, and I pretend to be Paula Deen. You seem to like this - it's like you have your own personal Food Network. That swing was the greatest baby gift EVER.

Anyway, back to Joe and CC...

While they were here, your grandpa Joe helped your dad build his wood shop. Nate came over and helped with the roof, and it was really impressive seeing three Burbach boys tackle a project together. Your grandma CC held you so I could take a much-needed shower. The only person we were missing was your uncle Joey, but he's away at college doing whatever boys do when they're in a fraternity.

I put you in a dress one day while they were here, and I said "You must be the prettiest baby in Alberton." And your grandpa Joe said "NO! She's the prettiest baby in THE WORLD." So there you have it - it's official.

Love,
Mom
