Craig's First Baby Steps!  
Craig's  first steps where taken at the age of 8 month old. Craig walked with a bounce and on his tip toes. When Craig walked, you could see what little blonde peach fuzz hair he had flowing with his bouncing steps.  Always a smile and off he would run.

Craig's Get's a Sister!  

In 1974 Craig became a brother to his sister Lynn.  He used to love to kiss her all the time.  He liked chasing her around the house "saying Kissy-Kissy"  Lynn used to run, but Craig always caught her. 
They were always together and loved every minute of it!!!!








 


Craig's first motorcycle ride & trip!  

Craig was so determined to ride on the motorcyle with his father. He was 3 years old.
Russ strapped him in good to the sissy bar,and Craig's sister and I followed behind in the car.
Craig's legs where so little that there was no place for them to be but spread out.

We stopped and asked Craig if he wanted to ride in the car,but he said no,and away him & his father went. With Craig waving and smiling.

Craig made the full trip. He never complained. The trip was about 96 miles.

That evening Craig wanted to stay with his Memere' and we get the phone call that Craig was in pain and couldn't sleep. So we all drove up to Mem's to see what was wrong.

We all couldn't figure it out,and at the end it was leg cramps for the way Craig had to ride,and being so little.Craig was so proud to be going with his Dad. The next day,was like
nothing happened and Craig wanted to do it again.

 


Craig's and his family Thanksgiving Days!  
Craig loved Thanksgiving.  Not only did he enjoy eating.  The most important part for Craig,  was to be around his family & friends.  The more people, the more the merrier for Craig.
Craig was so proud of his cooking,and what he loved to make was his favorites.
Yams & Green Bean Casserole.
Craig always had to make an extra dish of yams. Craig would say he had to test them out first.  Mom would always laugh, because I knew he wanted it all for him and his sister .  I knew that he knew the recipe by heart.
Craig & Lynn, and their friends even played their guitars, making up a "yam song"
What a great Thanksgiving that was for all.
