This is my first ever (and perhaps my only ever) attempt at a slide show. Whew.
It took a considerable amount of time to put this together, even without captions, so I’ll just add one sweeping comment at the end here to say “What? Doesn’t everybody put balloons on their Christmas tree?”
Love the new background and love your slide show. Not sure I know how to do it!

Thanks – the new colors are growing on me I think. The slide show wasn’t too hard, just time consuming. WordPress has great tutorials. ♥

Haha, no. The photos, the times. I have a photo of me in almost the same skirt with shoulder bands, and at about the same age. Around 2 or 3?

OMG, you were one of them — the gorgeous, classy type! Awesome slide show, and I knew it–you were always adorable! Funny, the balloon passed well below my radar — I had to go back and look for it — but someone’s panda bear is gonna make me sleep with the lights on tonight!

Ha! I had a panda bear like that, too.

I don’t remember that freaky bear at all, which is probably just as well. 🙂 We used to hang used flash cubes on the tree too – remember those?? Man, I am old.

I remember the day I upgraded to a camera with flash cubes. Moses was there. (He was old, not us.)

Well that was a delightful trip through your life. I think we’re about the same generation – love the trip back into 60’s/70’s clothes 🙂

Yep, it’s a shame no one dresses like that anymore. Or puts such interesting socks on their children.

Thanks – I’m feeling very encouraged to do another one now – maybe to showcase my beautiful children and embarrass the hell out of them…. lol

You and your family look so happy and loving, and as others have said, you are very beautiful. So often looking at others’ family photos is the most tedious experience, but I watched your show three times because it gives a warm happy glow and some personal nostalgia. Sweet.

I love looking at old pictures even if I don’t know who they are. Just naturally nosy I guess. I’m glad the ‘happy and loving’ part shows, because I think for the most part that’s what we were. ♥
