October 20, 2000 - Uncle Eric

Almost two weeks after Erin was born, my brother Eric drove up from Virginia to meet her. It was a very special day for all of us! Like Jim and I, Eric was immediately smitten by our little bundle of joy, and she seemed just as happy to be settled in his arms. It was the start of a beautiful relationship! Eric remains a very special person to Erin, and when she finds out that she's going to be seeing him she always gets excited. Now he has two daughters of his own, but I love knowing that this picture was the first of him holding an infant. The first time of many!
