Larsen Lunacy: August 6, 1983 - A Day to Remember

August 6th, 29 years ago, our first child was born weighing in at a slight 6 lbs with the most beautiful red hair to the delight of her parents and grandparents. I thought I knew what happiness, love and joy were but until that moment when I first saw her little face I had no idea the emotions that would fill my soul. Never had I had tears of joy stream down my face as I did at that precious moment. And now 29 years later I still find myself with those same tears staining my face as I reflect back over those years and the same happiness she brings into my life each and every day. Danielle has been a delight to have in our home as a child, sister and now we have the wonderful blessing of seeing her in her role as wife and mother. I'm learning that a parents greatest joy is in seeing their children have and rear their own children. I often see my mom in Danielle and she has no idea what comfort this gives me as I see the attributes of my own mother live on in her.
Below are just a few pictures of this amazing daughter and some fun videos:

Danielle has always been the responsible older sister and when each of our other children came along we knew that Danielle would always be there to love, help and support them. She was the director of games and countless video productions in our family room.

Danielle, much like her Grandma Lynn, loves Halloween and was always excited to see what kind of a character she could be. She, her mother and siblings continue this tradition.
