Leslie Anne Espy Arrives!

Theses are letters Uncle Watty kept for over 40 years!  He must have been proud of his new niece, Leslie Anne Espy.  Leslie is the first child.  Mother and Dad produced four in all!   Leslie, Mark, Miles and Allen, in that order.

Take note of Granddad Major holding precious Leslie, his first grandchild.  Also, you can see Dad's profile and Granddad Major in the last image.  Mother, naturally, is looking beautiful in all of them.  What a great mother she was! As our neighbor Hilda always said, "You came from good stock." 

These rare pictures (above) came from slides belonging to Aunt Marilyn.

And here's a photo I got from cousin Beverly Espy Dayries.  Leslie at five weeks.
