Pictures Galore...

A while back my Mom sent me a cd of pictures from the early years that she had scanned onto her computer for preservation. It's fun, I like looking through the pictures every now and then, and remembering stuff from my childhood. Not only did my Mom put a good number of pictures of myself on there, she included quite a few of my younger sister and brother.

I thought I'd take some time to share a few of my favorite pictures with all of you. This first photo was choosen because unfortunately I'm wearing this baggy old t-shirt that I got on a visit to Washington D.C. (the t-shirst was about a wanted bear for stolen hugs - something like that). The t-shirt was a favorite of mine for some time, and now I'm glad that I couldn't find the thing even if I wanted too. What also makes this picture so tragic is the pink purse I have slung over my shoulder. Again this purse was a favorite of mine during this time. I think I was under the impression at that age that purses were cool (I've learned a thing or two since that time).


Come on, you know why I choose this picture, its just so darn cute. You have to admit it, I was an adorable baby : ) You can tell from this photo that I'm still the funny loving, smile on my face girl that I am now (yeah...sure).

This photo is in honor of Father's Day. Aren't we just the cutest pair? I think so!!






















So it was about time that I posted a photo of my younger sister, Lora. I thought while I was at it, I might as well post the picture of Lora and Lora. Yep, that baby and the older woman holding her both have the same name Lora Heatwole.

My parents thought that they might as well name my younger sister after my great aunt Lora Heatwole. At the time of my sister's birth great aunt Lora was 80 years old. My parents didn't think that the two women would have to share the name for that much longer (I mean great aunt Lora was 80). My sister is 22 years old now and great aunt Lora is 102 and still kicking. So much for my parent's belief that the name sharing would be only a temporary thing. Oh well, it doesn't bother either of these ladies to share a name, actually I think they are rather proud of it. Hopefully my sister will take after her namesake and live to a ripe old age as well.

I don't want to leave my younger brother Brent out of this picture frenzy. Here's that cute little blonde baby boy for ya, all wearing his Daddy's shoes. So adorable, ain't he? We still tease my sister about this, when my brother was born (and she was three at the time) she said upon seeing him, "We's baby is sooo cute."

Well, that's all the pictures for now. I hope you've enjoyed this stroll down memory lane with me.
