Another Try at Family Pictures

These are the better pictures........ that will

tell you what the others probably look like.

After the picture taking we discover why the
cloudy look........... the lens were dirty. By that
time we were too tired to for any more.

Maybe next Sunday........ of course that

is our special meeting and we will need

to get an early start..... okay maybe the

next Sunday....

Some photos

Dan took a few pictures Sunday before we

headed to meeting.

The meeting hadn't even started yet and she

messed it up.

Caught Joseph having a moment with Abigail..............

Abigail having her first bath in the baby tub........... most of the time was as the first picture

Grandpa Sam stood on his head for Joseph while he was here. Joseph wanted to try but

didn't succeed until Grandpa helped him

We tried another photo shoot..................... it didn't go as

well as I hoped...........
Any way a few turned out...........

I think it was last week Joseph and I went outside for a very short time.

I stood mainly in the garage out of the cold. Stood as long as I could and then it was back
inside for us.

Two pictures that are close

in age
Joseph was about 5 days old and

Abigail at 9 days old.

I need to take some more pictures

of Abigail close up to compare them

with Joseph.

Many have mentioned how much they look alike. When I first held her I thought she looked so much different from Joseph. Now I can see a big resemblance across the eyes. Its in the eyes where they look like Dan. Joseph was identical to my baby picture but not Abigail. I think she looks more like a picture I saw of Dan.

Dad's 75th Birthday Party............

My brother Steve e-mailed a few pictures from Dad's birthday
celebration. They surprised him............ Steve and Audrey took
him out to eat after meeting then when they got back to the house my two sisters and some of their family were there. He was surprised!

I'm just sorry Mom couldn't be there too............. and of course
it would have been nice to have been there myself.


That is a lot of wind to blow out two cakes............. WOW







Another year.............. and another headstand............... at 75.

Guess this one was a bit more exciting......... according to Dad

and I'm sure the others got excited too......... Maybe it was

a good thing Mom wasn't there..........

Just a few more pictures of............ yep... Abigail

Abigail dress for Sunday but missing shoes................ they did not stay

on very long. The socks kept falling off too.........

Pictures before our first meeting............. Abigails first meeting, which

she wasn't in much of it...............

Grandma Millie, Joseph,

Grandma Mary and Abigail

Grandma Millie and Uncle Jim came down Friday afternoon and
stayed till Sunday afternoon.

We didn't get any pictures of Uncle Jim with Abigail......... why is it
with the second one your not as camera happy. Seems we have a
picture of Joseph with everyone that stopped by.

Happy 75th Birthday Dad!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Dad! Sorry we have Mom "tied" up here and you have to spend your birthday alone.

I don't know when we are going to let her leave.............

Now we are go to get some more snow....... I think somewhere between

6' to 9'.

Best wishes to you tomorrow and in the year to come.

Also.......... Happy Birthday to my nephew Jared. Guess this would be number 20, right?

Oh, sorry Dad........ I think I made a bit of a typo up above................ it is 6" to 9" of snow. My how one missing mark can make a little difference or I should say a big difference.
