October 29, 2000 - Erin's First Bath

When it was time for Erin to have her first "real" bath, we knew just the woman for the job - my grandmother, Yetta. Not only was she very experienced with this sort of thing (having performed the same ritual for my father, me, and countless others as well), but we felt it was somewhat symbolic, as Erin was her first great-grandchild. It was very touching seeing her handle our tiny little baby (who, not surprisingly, hated the entire experience), and I know she enjoyed it as well. It was the first time we had four generations of our family together, but certainly not the last!
