Just for fun this leap year Friday, I thought I'd share something with you. My Uncle sent this picture to me the other day and I just love it. This is my Dad's side of the family, including the dogs, in the early 80's. I think we're in my Grandparents backyard in Ohio.
And yes, that is me in the blue terry cloth romper. (?!?)
There are so many things I love about this picture - my Mom's crazy hair (permed, of course), the 'stare directly into the sun at high noon' effect, my cousin's knee socks.
My favorite thing is that it's all the family together. We've always lived in vastly different parts of the country and I think the last time we were all together was at my wedding, so these photos are extremely precious to me.

Ah - the striped socks! I wonder how many dates I missed out on because I wore those in high school :)
i too love this picture! i love the fact my mom is dressed in two shirts, one long sleeve and long pants and the rest of us are in shorts and short sleeves!! You, however, are the cutest ever :)
That is an interesting comment about my socks. I said the same thing when I posted this picture on my MySpace page. I liked those socks because they matched my shoes. You also have to remember this photograph was taken in July 1980, so it was still the 1970s in my mind.
