Wesley,

I like to take pictures. I like animals.

I like to take pictures of animals. I like

you!

So I made a book of my favorite

animal pictures for your first birthday!

Mommy and Daddy can read it to you

and show you the pictures. Some day

you will be able to read it yourself.

I hope you like it!

With lots of love,

Your Great-Grandpa Campbell

Hank Heron

We have a Great Blue Heron that lives on our

lake. Our neighbors have named him Hank.

Your Daddy is a baseball player, so he can tell

you where the name “Hank Heron” came from.

Hank spends a lot of time around our house,

because our neighbors like to fish, and when they

catch a small fish, they will give it to Hank.

It’s nice to have our own Big Bird in the

neighborhood!

I have taken many pictures of Hank, so here are

a bunch of them.
