Often I think of the first time I laid eyes on my wife. Mom Fran- you remember the time because you were there. Long black hair, bright green sparkling eyes, a gigantic white smile, and a personality unlike any other. Of course, that moment, along with many others, will always replay in my mind like a featured film.I took a photography class at Rock Valley College years ago and learned that there are many ways to view and appreciate a photograph. Similar to the day I laid eyes on Emily for the first time, I'm seeing her from another angle-- one that is even more gorgeous, more beautiful , and more perfect than I could ever imagine. She's even more loving, more caring, more cognizant of the future, and ever so iced over with an anticipated motherly glow that only a first-bearer can express.
I eagerly await the day my wife will become a mother; that day will be one full of joy, peace, and the start of a long awaited purpose-- one my wife was born to fulfill.

Hey Chris
Now you know how we felt on April 19, 19--! God created one awfully beautiful girl that came to be a part of our lives that day. She is the same beautiful girl yesterday, today, and tomorrow. G & G Pratt
Dad, that's a really nice comment!
Chris, I'm not sure if you knew that Em also took a photography class at NWC. She really should've switched majors. Sometime ask her to see her "Ode to the Bicycle" shot. Man, that girl knows how to make the best use of light and shade.
