Outtakes

Here are some outtakes from the photos I shared yesterday.

Wordful Wednesday

It's sad, I was looking through my photos and I just realized that have not taken any new regular photos of my family since Halloween.  This time of year it seems all I do is take photos of my clay creations. I really need to fix that.

So I started to look back through my archives and stumbled upon these.  The day before we left on or trip to Disney we went to visit my grandparents. We do not get to see them that often.  While they are from this area, they live close to my parents now.

I absolutely LOVE that last one!

Take Me Back Tuesday & Flashback Friday

Last week, I showed photos of my grandmother in the side yard of her grandmother's home.  This week here are 2 more photos of my grandmother in front of the house.  There used to be a wrap around porch, that they have since removed.

This photo is from 1938 when my grandmother was around 9yrs old.  She is on the porch with her Nana, but not sure who the 2 gentlemen in the photo are.  I think they may be her uncles.

This is my grandmother at at 16.  It's wild to see a horse on the front lawn....especially seeing what the house looks like today.  (There are photos of the house in a post I wrote about Niagara On The Lake.)

Take Me Back Tuesday & Flashback Friday

When my grandmother came and visited a couple months ago, I showed her my blog books.  She LOVED looking through them.  She took a couple books with her when she went to dinner with her brothers & sisters to show them. 

When we were looking through them, we came upon the post about Niagara on the Lake.  In the post I had written about remembering seeing a photo of my grandmother with chickens in the side yard of her grandmother's home.

A few weeks later photos arrived in the mail. 

This is my grandmother in 1929 (or 1928) in her Nana's side yard.

I ended up scanning in both sides of all the photos.  Just so I don't forget the info that is written on them and because my grandmother's handwriting is on them.

I will share the rest next week.

You Capture - Togetherness

My maternal grandparents, aunt & cousins came up from Pittsburgh to visit and stay with us last weekend.  There was lots of togetherness. (Especially because my house is small)  It was great to visit with everyone.  Lily was smitten with my aunt.  She followed my aunt around, it was precious!

She also loved grandmother and all of her "pretties".

The kids had a fantastic time together.  My cousins are around Ian's age.  (one is 8mths older and the other is 9mths younger than Ian) 

Yep, there was lots of togetherness.  =)

Go on over to I Should Be Folding Laundry to see other You Capture's for this week.

July 1971

In honor of mother's day last Sunday I thought I would share this photo.  This is my mom (age 17..almost 18...her birthday is in August) and her mom.  I want to say this was taken on my parent's 1st wedding anniversary.

I also want to thank everyone who donated and entered my 2nd Annual Tuesday Blog Party.  The winner is Jayme.
