My blessing day (check out my mom's awesome fake hairpiece)
With my lovely, adoring mom
At our house in Virginia - I loved this green cordouroy pantsuit my mom made for me, that collage in the background is lots of views/renditions of the tower at Utah State University where my parents got engaged, and you've got to love how my parents had a round waterbed with the water sack enclosure covered in blue shag carpet to match the carpet on the floor. Big time stylish.
Me with baby Josh - loved that tree wall paper we had in our living room and the black pleather couch we had for ages
in Jackson Hole - dress styles sure were short!
I remember wearing this outfit pretty much every day for ages. The purple unitard was for dance and once I coupled that with a green wrap-around cheerleading skirt a teenage neighbor gave me (it went around me twice and then safety-pinned) and a super-crop top, I had a truly great outfit.
I was SO excited when my hair got long enough for pigtails! Just like my daughter Eliza, my hair took FOREVER to grow. I yearned for the braids and ponytails my friends had. By age 5, this was all the length I had even though I'd never had my hair (other than my bangs) cut. Oh, and I LOVED that coat - wore it for years.
Jumping in the leaves for Dad's birthday (with the hammock we played on all the time in the background - we'd weave our arms and legs through its ropes, then have someone flip the hammock over to see if we could stay on...)

Outtake from a family photo my senior year of high school. What awesome 80's hair I had!

this is awesome! i'd love to go through where you are finding these pictures and find some of myself. i only know of a few pictures of me when i was little!
the family portrait had to be after your senior year in high school, right? i was 2 then.
love you!
Great shots. Loved those teething toys and I remember when cribs looked like the one you are in. That would never fly these day! Is the picture with the leaves in Virginia? Reminds me of growing up in Falls Church--I could almost smell the leaves!
So happy to see these pictures! Some I haven't seen forever. I don't ever remember seeing this outtake of the good old family picture. Fun to see!
