Happy Birthday to Mom

Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we?
(be sure to take note of the hairstyles)
Awwwwwwwww!!!!


Many years later, as a working gal:



Finally, settled down, married, kids.... domestic bliss....



A few more years later, Steevie Weevie came along and rocked our world.


... and rocked it . . . and rocked it . . . and

good grief, dad grew a mustache.


A few more years later, the grandkids started arriving. .




Gee. . . who is that in the background, getting into all our family pictures again??? Yes, it's a grown-up cousin David. Remember him from this post? Yeah, well, he's still hanging around. (although in this photo, he looks more like a cardboard cutout)

So here's J, also all grown up. You might wonder "Where did he get that sense of style from??" . . .

You guessed it - from the matriarch herself, Nana, previously seen at your local Starbucks.

There followed many years of inlaws, grandkids, family meals, holiday dinners . . .






-

-

Fun, fun times. (btw - carleen is not a midget in real life)-

-

-

More holidays, more grandkids . . .

. . . talented grandkids.





-
-

Did I say how very, very talented these grandkids are?

-

By golly, that cousin just won't go.








Then Steevie Weevie produced another granchild and really rocked our world.

One thing has remained constant in your..... how many years??? . . .
-
-
in sickness and in health . . .

hey, you forgot Eva! and Mimi looks like Emma when she was little.

Anon: I'm sure David will be in the photos. Be sure to send me some.

Anon2: I KNOW! I got finished and noticed the lack of Eva. It was too difficult to insert her, everything would shift. I figured she's everywhere else in this blog anyway.
Emma does look like mom's girl picture, I thought so too!

Mimi looks prettier in each photo and I love her more now than ever before. Thanks Mimi for 47+ years!

Also, Steevie Weevie looks just like his Dad's earlier photos, sorry Carleen.
