Those three boys were a hoot when they played together. That's my memory, and this picture confirms it. For awhile we had a dog they loved, Rusty. |
I had written on the back, "Sammie is always trying to help Jeffy." I'm sure that's why I took this picture... |

I got a lot of mileage out of having Neapolitan children: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. |
This was a group hug after all three boys sang Happy Birthday to Jeff. |
In those days I sewed a lot. Please notice the matching corduroy overalls. |
Like the polyester suits? I only bought the one Dave is wearing. The other two were hand-me-downs. This photo was an enormous hit when it surfaced in 1992 while all 3 boys were in various bands. |
I hunted far and wide for coordinating sweater vests. I remember declaring victory when I found these at a Ross store in Baytown, Texas. |
It was nice to see this picture of my dad. I forgot that he was young once. |
We got a dog when we moved to New Jersey in 1980. I named her Lizzie after one of my sisters, who was actually quite flattered. |
Oh, there are so many things to love about this picture! This was the boys' first experience with snow. |
This is another photo from Jeff's second birthday. Today I scanned in 5 shots of that day, which tells me we were having a really fun time. |
I will say right here and now that Sammie was a totally adorable child. |
And sometimes I was his adorable mother. I made a habit of wearing bridesmaid dresses on Halloween. Like the eyelashes? I cut them from black construction paper. I hope I won a prize. |
Sam's hair floated--it was golden. This was taken with a Polaroid camera. Google it if you have to. |
I have always had an adorable husband. For those who don't know -- he used to be a redhead. |
Ben has always, always been a great father. |
