Recently my mom has started sorting through a bunch of family photos, and last weekend she brought a bunch in for me to look at. Among the photos she brought in were two that I found of particular interest. The first one was taken in the summer of 1958. The baby in this photo is me. The adults are my dad, my grandma, my great-grandpa, and my great-great-grandmother.
The second photo was taken in 1977. The baby in this photo is my oldest son Ben. The adults are myself, my dad, my grandma, and my great-grandma.
I have not known anyone else in real life who has five-generation photos in two consecutive generations, and I just thought it was pretty cool. I'll probably enlarge both of them, frame them, and hang them somewhere in the house soon.
I am a married mom of four grown kids, grandma of the world's cutest grandson and most beautiful granddaughter, and was a licensed family child care provider from July 1986 until June 2009. I have earned my Child Development Associate credential and am a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (in other words, I can tell you more than you want to know about car seats and safe transportation of kids in cars). I have also been described as a "knitaholic" since I can be seen with knitting in hand almost anywhere that I happen to be. Recently I have ventured into the world of spinning my own yarn as well. This blog will chronicle my latest knitting projects, craft fairs, and the other major happenings in my life.
