Buddingly


Spring memories.  As seen in 2019.

Hootenanny


I was looking through the archives today.  This is from a trip we took to Iowa in 2019.  You sure can't miss that silo and the "barn dances" advertisement seems appropriate for that giant fiddle.  Love it.

Revelry


Oh my.  I was certainly wired for sound in this picture.

Languorously


When you're just too pooped to peep.  Memories from 2018.

Adventitiously


In the throes of winter, summer memories remain.

Characteristically


It doesn't show much, but it sure says a lot.

Cleanly


Rub-a-dub-dub.

Tweety


I'm like a little baby bird being fed.

Twitchy


 

What on earth is this goofy pose all about?  Was my diaper full?  Toddler interpretive dance? Making crank phone calls on my phone?  The world will never know.

Limitationally


So close, and yet so far.

Hasenpfefferly


Eating a Peeps and I was pretty proud of it.

At first, I wasn't sure it was a Peeps, but then I Googled Peeps pics from the past and found that they looked different when I was a little tyke.  This was most definitely a Peeps.  As seen in the pic below, the bunnies used to be in profile pose instead of face-on.  In today's pic, I was thoroughly enjoying biting its little head off.

Secretively


What?  I was just adjusting the tablecloth.

Girly


Mom used to tape bows to my head because I didn't have enough hair.  This bow is especially large.  I'm surprised I didn't just rip it off my head.

Aweary


After a hard day of being a baby, it's always good to get a little shut-eye.

Statically


It's kind of ironic that I'm playing with the fuzzy hairdo of the bank on my tray when my own hair is making a fashion statement.  That look on my face makes me wonder if I was up to something.

Also, look at the size of that pacifier! And I really like the kitty on my bib.

Bouncy-Bouncy


I was having fun.  Just hanging around.

Nurturingly


I'm still scanning negatives.  I don't readily recall this image.  Mom looks so young and lovely.  

That dress is pretty, but I don't ever remember seeing it.  Typically she would leave clothes hanging in her closet for 20 years, but not this dress.

Puerility


Hanging out with some neighbor kids.  These two weren't the easiest kids to get along with, but as you can see, it didn't dull my smile.

Regardfully




I love my boys so much!

Slobbery




When I was a baby, my mom would take me to work with her sometimes and let me roll around on the floor and slobber on an old bedsheet.  There were no Pack-n-Plays back then.  That shag carpet, though, yuck!

Leggy


All legs.  Like a fancy spider.  Taken at grandma's house.

Obviously


The face of innocence, right there.  That face would never get into trouble.

Luxury


I had my bear and I was ready to travel in my Sears Cadillac.  Nothing at all like the Cadillac baby strollers they make today.  Take note of the lovely crocheted pillow used to make the stroller the right size.

Propitiously


One of mom's high school graduation pictures.  


Techie Corner

I actually found the negative for this image and scanned it.  It had horrible crazing.  It was way thicker than a normal negative, like it was dipped in something to preserve it.  But somehow the coating got botched.  It had to have happened with the photographer, because even the print photos I have of this image have the disfigurations that the negative has.

I've spent hours and hours over the past year to get the image looking nice like this.  A true labor of love.

Paparazzi


Don't you just hate it when the paparazzi take your picture at the most inopportune time? Or in this case, when I call out my future husband's name to make him look, just after he took a big bite of donut.  I'm a stinker, aren't I?  As seen in 1990.

Investigatory


Looks like I was spelunking under the dining room table.  And pretty happy about it too.

Mysteriously


In the middle of December, we had a really large temperature swing.  The beautiful fog is a side effect of that swing.

Compactly


Back when I could fit in a dining room drawer.

Detailedly


I took this when we were out taking pictures of the Christmas lights on Summit Ave.  This house didn't have any Christmas lights, but it was too lovely not to shoot.

Dizzy


I wasn't Baby New Year, but I was definitely watching my whirling toy, just like people watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve.
