MOTHER GOOSE BABIES

This is a print that we had hanging over our children's beds when they were pre-school age. Our daughter, Laura loved it and asked if she could have it. later I copied it on my handy dandy computer and inserted her own two (miracle) babies in the lower right hand corner. I say miracle babies because they were twins, born three months early and weighed (Duncan) 2 1/2 pounds and (Dawson) 1 1/2 pounds. They spent the first three months of their lives in LDS Hospital, Salt Lake, Primary Children's Hospital, and McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. Before they were born, Laura spent one month flat on her back in LDS, just serving as an incubator for them as she had lost her water and was life flighted from Logan to Salt Lake a month before they were born.


Today, they are bright handsom 11 year old boys. The only disability they have is in their eyesight. Because of all the oxygen they received as preemies, it hampered their vision. So they wear glasses most of the time, and now have contacts. This proud grandmother (and grandfather) thank the Good Lord every day for all our grandchildren. We now have 9. Laura, herself is the mother of four of them, all boys.

Laura is married to Dean Johansen, son of George W. and Barbara Ann Johansen He is the grandson of the late Dean and Evelyn Johansen, all Mt. Pleasant. Laura and her family live in Providence, Utah.
