Competitive soldering? What's going on here?

Wow! Mom (Grandma?) was a really stylish and gorgeous lady—-and I’ll bet she still is!

Reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

Bet your family misses that cute doggie!

Hubba Hubba! Dad (Grandpa?) was a real dreamboat—-and probably still is!

How many grands have had their photo taken exactly like this?

Horsyyy

I miss the big multigenerational family get-togethers. Personally, I’d do a pot luck or have it at least mostly catered. I have too many memories of my mother being totally frazzled, and never getting to enjoy the day, when she was hostess and cook. Even if someone tried to help her when they got there, she was pretty much toast before they arrived anyway. I pitched in when I finally got old enough (and continued to help while I was still living at home), but even then it still took her a long time to relax and drop the habit of trying to do every single thing herself. Then she discovered caterers. Much better after that.

Awww. Daddy trying to get Baby to look at the camera and smile. Mommy telling him—-under her breath and without moving her lips—-that he’s just wasting his time.

These fit so well

The yellow thing on the side looks like a weird yellow mermaid

There’s always one kid who doesn’t want their picture taken. In. Every. Family.

Oh no! They removed all those lovely vines! Now it’s just a plain nondescript box.

Clever use of the reflection—-and love love love that the same chair is still there!
