just a few pictures

Today the girls and I made our annual visit to the garden where my mom used to photograph me and my sisters when we were kids.  I'm actually pretty proud of myself for keeping up this tradition for three straight years in a row.  




Just for kicks I thought I would show Canon a few pictures of me in that same garden.  Here's me showing off my new Easter dress circa 1984.


If you are just dying to make fun of my hair, don't worry...Canon beat you to it.  As soon as I opened up my scrapbook she said, "Mommy, that is you when you were a little girl.  Your hair was sooooooo crazy."

I love the pictures! I took Evan there last spring and you just reminded me that I need to do it again!

Hey, why don't you pull out pictures from, say around 7th or 8th grade for Canon? Remember that haircut? I'll never forget it...sorry! Love you!

I LOVE those pictures. Of course, your hair pictures? HILARIOUS!!! Looks like you've got some kink to your hair, girlfriend! haha. I kid - and only say that because I'm one who knows! How did you ever keep your girls' pants white for that long. My goodness! Favorite pic - the one of the two of them running down the path. Precious!

Wow! Elly really looks like you, huh. I didn't really see it before. Just adorable :) Anytime you're ready to photograph MD just let me know! I actually did my bridal portraits at that garden. Great place...

This post brings back memories! We use to go there every Easter and take pictures. It's still a beautiful place and special!

Your girls look beautiful and so much like you!

Love, love, love all the pictures! I am absolutely amazed how much Elly looks like you did as a little girl. I never could figure out who she looked like more, you or Alex, but after seeing those photos, there is no doubt. She looks exactly like you!

linds - I had a feeling that's what you would write. And yes...it does get old for SOME people.

Love the hair! You know, I have to agree with Courtney once I saw that pic. I always though Elly looked more like Alex, but I can see the childhood you in her.
