While the kids were home in June, I asked them to go through some of our old photo albums to mark pictures they’d like to keep. The plan is for me to scan the old photos and put them on a USB drive for each kid.
Going through the photos brought back lots of memories. One of those memories was that Thom never liked to smile in pictures, as shown in the photos below from the 1994 album.
March 1994–my birthday. Thom is thrilled to celebrate with me. I baked my traditional Vienna Torte birthday cake. Why is the shirt so big???
May 1994–ditto for Thom, except this time, it’s Kari’s 16th birthday. Isn’t that a pretty princess cake I made for her? The “16” doll on the left of the cake completed her baby-through-16 doll collection.
June 1994–Thom’s graduation. It’s another happy day for him. Does he have an acorn in his cheek?
2017–my birthday. Thom is a much happier guy now.
I predict more photo memories coming up as I work my way through 12 albums.
