As an example of how much time my parents spent on family, here's me feeding the ducks not far from our house. We did this every Sunday from the late fall until the ducklings were swimming in the spring. Saved up all the bread crusts and stale bread all week for the ducks and geese. And now the town where I grew up has a serious problem with geese. Go figure!
From my 11th or 12th birthday, my Dad trying to win me a stuffed animal from an arcade in Niagara Falls.
My Mom babysat lots of kids over the years so that she was home during the day with us. I think I'm about 10 in this picture, helping a little guy walk in the courtyard of our townhouse.
And my baseball team the year Dad coached me. Rarely did we ever get a picture of Dad with his eyes open. I'm the kid with the big glasses in the middle of the back row. And doesn't my sister look thrilled to have her picture taken (behind me, dark glasses)?

Those shades are cool,
like Boogie Nights cool
lol! That'd be about the right age. That picture is from 1982.
So sad.
Oh, the ones in the first pic-that'd be from 1976 or 77. So, nice call on the vintage shades, rs!
Awesome pics. :) I think we'll all laugh at this babydoll phase in a few years too, "Geez, we all looked preggers!" lol
Sweet hair!
That fancy hair style was the bane of my childhood! It involved a torturous span of time putting those pink sponge rollers into my hair, then having to sleep on the stupid things, and then more torture as Mom removed them and made sure all the curls looked right.
I hated that hair!
lovely photos, and LOL @the fugly clothes we all had to wear "back then"! you were such a purdy little girl, did you have boys teasing you? *grin*
Don't let the picture fool you, TD-I was a tomboy through and through. I probably teased the boys!
