Suzie81 Speaks Weekly Word Challenge: Family
Pull up a chair let me walk you through my family photo album. Small family so it will be brief, promise. Here’s my mom and dad. They haven’t changed much since this pic:
I love this picture of the two of them at their wedding reception.
This is my brother. He hasn’t changed much since these days either:
In looking at this picture I can smell the honey suckle climbing up the post behind us and taste the strawberries growing next to me. I wish my parents had never moved from that house we grew up in.
My little family has changed a bit from this:
Oliva was 4 months old in this one. About 5 months before she looked like so:
I look grouchy here. Probably because I’m huge and had to pee. I could never venture too far from the loo at this stage. More recently:
I’m happier and hubby is too:
Thanks for the inspiration and the opportunity to share a little bit about my loves.
xoxo,
Sandra

Thanks Sheena! My brother says I look like “70’s mom.” I’ll have to find a picture of her in the 70s to see for myself. I hope you’re doing well friend.

Love lives through your generations, Sandra. I think you are a great combo of both your parents, and Oliva is a wonderful mix of you and Erik. And I must talk woman’s hair here the way your mom went from beehive to lone-bang-curl and you evolved from a little bit pop to a little bit punk. Thanks for sharing for Suzie’s challenge!

Thanks Mark! I think my brother and I both resemble Frank and Dolores, west coast. Not to be confused with Frank and Dolores, east coast. And I also think that “a little bit punk” would make a great descriptor in my About section. 😉

I would go with for you: “A little bit punk with a heart of gold.”

I don’t have any old pictures. Not that old. But I don’t prefer any of them before the other. They are just different!

We have so many old pictures. I’ve put my growing up pics in posts, but my mother has a heck of a lot of family pictures
