Then, 29.5 years later....
I do say the clothing styles and carpet hues have improved. Other things that have improved: Knowing you shouldn't smoke next to a baby.
That is my Nana (my mom's mom) holding me. On the left is my Uncle Phil (my mom's brother, or "Aw Phwa" as I used to call him") and to the right is my Grandpa George and his cigarette!
I think we need a caption contest for that photo. It looks like one of those old photos that are now greeting cards with hilarious one-liners. Anyone?

Grandma mistakenly places the turkey in the bassinet and presents the baby for the Thanksgiving feast...but no one seems to mind.
Molly--love it! That is perfect! I can't come up with anything other than:
"Hey, who let the broads into the smoking lounge?"
I love the classic color of old photos from our youth. I do like that today they capture the actual color, but I like to think of those days in the matted hue of the 70's! I love that grandpa is smoking - so typical of that era!Thanks for sharing :0)
I am not feeling creative on the caption contest but look forward to reading some suggestions. Molly's is great!
I had to take a double take. That looks SO much like my grandma. Then the more I looked at it, the more I can totally see your mom in her features. I think the glasses and hairdo are what look like my grandma. Of course, mine would probably of had a cigarette in her hand!
sorry not so good with the captions!
Plaids are great!
wow...the little girl with a blue sleeveless dress is quite a babe... I am sure she grew up to be a hotty. Lucky the man that married her.
Signed: the man that married the little girl with the blue sleeveless dress.
I'm with Andrea - the color of old photos just takes you back. Very cool.
No good with captions...sorry!

Hi, Jenna! I loved lurking on your blog, but since I'm anonymous, I couldn't comment on what a fabulous looking family you have! Hope all is going well. Would love to see you! Say Hi to your mom and dad! and sisters and brothers!
Love to all, Carol
Hi Mrs. Sharp,
I know it's Carol, but to go with the picture Mrs. Sharp is what comes to mind. Ugo's really gotten the blogging bug, it's fun, I just chase the kids around. My 21 month old Sarah has a friend her age across the street and I've tought more than once "She could be your friend for a long, long time!" Pretty awesome. Thanks for writing. Thanks Katie!
