56 Years!

Happy Birthday Dad!!! I Love You Lots!!!

Today is my dad's 56th birthday! Here is a picture of him and my uncle and aunts as kids. My dad is the ornery looking younger boy. You can see the fire in his eyes. I just love this picture. Mostly b/c I now understand what my grandmother must have been going through. Only I have two and she had four. She must be a saint...or she just drank a lot! NO....she didn't. She is a classy woman. And back then you could beat your child w/ a switch and nobody called SRS. That is the difference between 50 years ago and today. Not that she would have beaten her kids w/ a switch either. She probably just had lots of patience.

Uncle Gail, My Dad Larry, Aunt Kristi and Aunt Deanne
I just love the boys' bow ties and love love love the girls' hair. Good job Grandma!
