Breaking out the bassinette

 

 

 

…the bassinet given to my parents by my Dad’s parents in 1937 in celebration of my oldest brother’s birth.  It gets passed from family to family and generation to generation.  We keep a list of all the kids since then and have now added Arie’s name to it; number 31.
