My dad is scanning all the pictures in our family's magnetic albums and uploading them to Picasa so they can be stored for time and all eternity. He sent me a link to the album and I've been busting a gut at some of them and also enjoying the memories and loving the glimpse into my parent's lives pre-kids, so on and so forth. I'm super sentimental. I also love that none of these pictures are photoshopped - they are naturally aged and have "the vintage look" that lots of people strive to achieve with actions. Just put your photos in magnetic albums for 20-some-odd-years and it'll happen naturally!
My beautiful mom. Don't know where or when but I love it!
My mom with a perm. Hehe :) Still so beautiful!
My mom lovin' on a kitty. I know where my animal obsession comes from!
My sister, I mean mom (but who can tell, they're like clones!) lovin' on a puppy.
My grandma Doris, aunt Katy, aunt Cissy, and my malm. That's all I know!
My mom as a little girl. So cute. Love her outfit to pieces!
My mom as a little girl dressed up as a Native American.
Me, my brother, and Dad having a campout in our backyard in San Jose.
My 'rents. Pre-kids. Loooove this picture. They look so young and spry!
Two words: Malm's dress. Hehe :)
My first day of kindergarten. Complete with crimped hair and my Little Mermaid lunch box.
Me on my dad's shoulders in San Francisco.
My baby blessing day?? Fill me in Malm!
Some of these are definitely gonna make their way into my scrapbooks!
Isn't it so fun to look at old photos? My grandma and I just went through all the magnetic albums at her house and it was so fun to look at her and my grandpa pre-kids, and my mom as a little girl. Love it! (Oh, and I'm pretty sure I had the same lunchbox... :) )
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Your mom and Allison are TWINS! I never noticed that before!! Miss you all!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is fun to look at old photos and see how things have changes. I always like to see the cars and tv's and such, as much as the people!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun to do. I love it when my mum pulls out the old albums and we get to reminisce!
ReplyDeletethese pictures are so fun. Serious. I really enjoyed looking at them. I like how you wrote, "my sister, I mean mom" because I was totally thinking your sister looks just like your mom did. You kind of do too though. But like you said, they are pretty much clones.
ReplyDeleteBah! I love these :)
ReplyDeletePailge, the first picture of me was taken in Israel in 1981. 2nd pic: I asked the hairdresser to perm my hair in the smallest rollers. When she was finished, I realized I meant to say the LARGEST rollers. Yikes! And cut me some slack on the polka-dot dress. It was the 80's! Fun post!
ReplyDeleteOh, and YOU are in my tummy in those pics of me and the kittens. You were born two weeks after that picture was taken.
