Kim and Tony Bruce are wonderful friends of ours and the very proud parents of Olivia Brigham Marie Bruce - the cutest little girl we've ever known - and our God-daughter.

Tony and Kim at Reese and Raquel's wedding in May of 2000. "Pumpkin" was on the way and we were all convinced Kim was having a boy! |
Kim, Raquel and I acting rather silly at a Mexican restaurant. Kim was able to "pretend" smoke for the picture and have a non-alcoholic drink. The restaurant wouldn't let us keep the hats. |

The happy new family. Olivia Brigham Marie Bruce
was born on October 24, 2000. Kim went into the hospital while Paris and I were in Virginia getting married - but Olivia waited until we returned to be born. :) |
Olivia's first official photo.

Olivia's Dedication at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Chapel in February, 2001 - with Chaplain Alexander and the Bell from the USS Reuben James. Olivia's name was inscribed on the ship's bell, which is Navy tradition. The Bruces - Olivia is wearing a beautiful gown that Kim made herself! |

Kim with Olivia in her too cute baby sunglasses while on a
visit back to the mainland to see family.
Olivia gets a bath from Grandma Bruce. I tend to refer to the visits they made to the mainland as the times "they took the baby girl away". |
