my 6 month babies

Just for fun, I went through our files to find similar pictures of my kids around 6 months old. A lot of pictures were taken in the same blue high chair. Strapped in, they are pretty easy to photograph.

Below is Grace:


Below is Kaylee; she hardly ever smiled, so this is the best photo I could find.

Below is Joshua:



While I was looking through old photos, I found this one of me from about 4 years ago . It was the hair that caught my attention at first....whoa. That's long.


I stared and stared at this picture....I remember that shirt; I borrowed it from my sister. I still have that sweater in my closet and I think it's ugly; I remember that room in our first house and my old glasses. But I can hardly remember *me* back then.

What was I doing....reading the newspaper? I had time to read the newspaper? With only one baby, a small house to clean and working only 10 hours a week, I guess I did have time to read. Was I as tired as I am now? As happy? As horrified at the dirt in my house? Content, creative? I think so... Sometimes a picture ISN'T worth a thousand words, I guess.

  3. the kids look adorable! when we have our little ones I want to do comparison shots like this too, what a fun idea :-)

    I think you were happy in this photo, just being you. Happy, like you have always been as long as I've known you- happy, whatever comes your way. Here you are still you... yet, a younger self so unaware of all the blessing yet to come.
