GUESTBOOK

shannon graham Dear baystateparent,

As a photographer who loves taking pictures of her son, I had to share some photos. Each year, I set up a shoot before my son’s birthday. Since this year’s party is a circus theme, I made him a ring master costume to wear on his day.

I make a point to shoot photos of my son once a week, but for the first year of his life, I took a picture each day to document the changes taking place, creating coffee table books for family members. Since my son’s immune system didn’t function normally (called transient Immunogammaglobulinemia), my worst fears for his health and life pushed me to document everything I could.

The coffee table book has become a tradition that allows me to think about how grateful I am that he is recovering from his immune system deficiency and the many other medical conditions in which he suffers.

Lastly, I love reading about the children featured on your cover. It is fun to read the answers to the questions you ask them. It always leaves me with a smile on my face.

Dear baystateparent,

Thank you so much for picking me to win a Night at the Museum 2 DVD. I’ve been wanting to get it so much, and I’ve already watched it. This means a lot to me.
