Let me tell you about your wonderful great-grandparents. They are Leroy and Margaret Ann Wilson. Leroy was born on March 29, 1936. Margaret Ann Daniel was born on September 21, 1938. They met at Amite High School in Amite, Louisiana and were married on April 17, 1957. On January 26, 1960, I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is a picture of my mom holding me when I was a few days old.
This is a picture of my daddy holding me when I was about 1 month old.
When I was almost 1 year old, my parents moved to Shreveport, Louisiana and that is where I grew up. When I met your grandpa (Bill Bell), I moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and lived with my Aunt Audrey until we got married on May 23, 1981. On March 19, 1983, I gave birth to your daddy, Jonathan Daniel Bell. He was my parents' first grandchild. They were very excited about him. Here is a picture of my parents holding your daddy when he was a few days old.

Now, it is 2011, and here are my parents holding YOU, Maci Jo Bell when you are 1 month old. You are their first great-grandchild. They are very excited about you! When my daddy was holding you, he kept saying, "Maci, I used to hold your daddy and your grandma!" It was so sweet to hear him say that!
I am so glad that your great-grandparents have met you. They are indeed GREAT!
Love the pics and the thoughts. You must be having so much fun doing it, and when Maci is old enough, you will read it to her!
