This is a picture of my dad in the summer of 1980, making a cradle for me. It provided a cozy sleeping spot for myself and my brothers as well as a few cousins through the years. As we got older, it got tucked away in storage, awaiting a grandchild to put it back to use. Lexie now has the privilege of sleeping in the cradle her grandpa made 29 years ago. How special!

Hard at work

Me in the cradle- June, 1980

Awaiting Lexie's arrival.

All snuggled in.

The cradle was actually loaned out to a lot of friends as well (Hartzells, Ralphs, DeWittes). Probably about 15 kids in all. I'm trying to reconstruct a history. But it's great to have it back with a family member especially a grandchild!
