On the brighter side

My recent posts have not been that much fun to read, I know. Not really uplifting. So I thought I would post a few cute pictures of me and J when we were little kids, just to lighten the mood a bit.



Enjoy!


J helping his mom out in the garden. Look at his blond fro!!

J grew up in Texas, and here's the proof!

I think this is one of my all-time favorite pictures of J. Look at that great smile!

Texas gets hot!! And J tried to cool off and get a refreshing drink at the same time.

A little young to start shaving, don't you think?

I grew up in Seattle. Here I was on a field trip to Alki Beach. Look at my face...I'm not sure about the geoduck in my hands.

Probably one of the last times I've worn makeup voluntarily. I still put it on the same way, too. I sucked at make up then, and I suck at it now!

Another one of my favorite photos of J. Look at those long legs!

J and his sister H riding on bikes in front of their house in Texas.

I didn't grow up in Texas, but maybe this was some sort of sign?? I was destined to be with a Southern boy?

Our neighbor in Seattle took this picture when I was riding around the neighborhood. I can't tell if I'm pouting or squinting. Or both?

In preschool, they posed us on the cargo net for pictures. Cute, but I've always been afraid of heights. I can only imagine, based on the dumb look on my face, that I was not a model student that day.

Pretty sure my mom was nuts. Who poses their kids in the bathtub with flowers? That looks natural...

When I was in elementary school I won the Seymour Kaplan Humanitarian Award. I think I was destined to be a teacher.

There you go. Not terribly exciting photos, but much happier than my recent posts, wouldn't you agree?
