Kate Adison was teething when her parents were cheering her older sister on at a swim meet in Atlanta GA. My son and his wife were happy to introduce her to me, but I didn't have any grandmotherly tricks that would help the unhappy little one who was a bit unhappy that day.
And here Kate is 18 years later (last week) graduating from high school in Columbus OH!! The huge ring is from the Ohio state championship in Lacrosse. She is the youngest of my son's three daughters, and also the youngest of my 6 grandchildren.
Sepia Saturday is asking for a family photo, which I already gave you at the beginning, but there are more!
An informal shot of the whole family visiting St. Augustine FL last year. L to R. Kate, Russ, Michelle, Caroline and Audrey
A gathering of cousins. The 5 to the left are Lisa Hawkin's family, and she's sister to Michelle Heym. Michelle is the wife of my son Russ, and they are with their 3 daughters on the right of the photo.
From the right, Russ, Audrey, Caroline, Kate, Michelle, Christopher Hawkins, Abi, Lisa, Tom and T.J.
OK, I'll find a Sepia photo for the prompt!
Isn't it great that someone combined the names from the back with the original photo!
If you're in the US, hope your Memorial Day holiday is relaxing, and not too rainy (which ours is supposed to be). Canadians and English folk have a bank holiday. So not much business will be happening for many of us.
Wonderful pictures! Those first two especially. It's fun to see the younger ones when they've grown up. That last color pic' of the cousins would have matched last week's prompt as well, but you went in a different direction for that post, so it's good you saved it for this week's offering. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your keeping track of what I've posted, Gail! I must admit to not really thinking that far ahead. I'm doing some ancestry updating on my family site, which means checking lots of dates, names that are the same for at least 3 generations, which they thought was just wonderful but brings me to tears...now which John built the beautiful mansion in Alabama? It's attributed (at this point in my search) to the Revolutionary War Veteran.
DeleteYou're blessed with a beautiful family.

Congratulation to your beautiful granddaughter for making it to the first big goalpost. I'm sure she made you and her parents very proud. I laughed at your last postcard as just today I am considering buying a photo from 1915 of a band in some unknown location but it has all twenty men identified in a neat order with clear penmanship. I'll probably add it to my collection just for the sake of the names.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara , for showing us your modern day family, especially the “then and now” and the reunion photo.
