cars

| October 10, 2010

From more than 100 pictures in my “cars” file I picked these few that illustrate the beginnings of my dad’s lifelong interest in cars. I had some fun trying to figure out their chronological order. Maybe you can judge how well I did. Those are my three aunts, my dad wearing the banded hat. Is [...]

This photo series made me smile. Maybe it will broaden yours today. And our favorite, because we’ve actually witnessed this happening (with a natural “jet stream”):

I didn’t spend a lot of time at my cousins Jim and Lisa’s house, but back when our Michigan home bordered their Indiana home I’d sometimes drop in on them for a couple of hours just to see what was happening. And since they raised five kids, there was always something happening. They eventually grew [...]

and you thought pots and pans were for cooking

circa 1977 • Baby Taylor gets ready to pull the pans out of the cupboard. circa 2004 • Baby Cassidy—the same pans/lids offer entertainment. circa 2009 • Baby Oscar investigates our 43-year-old cookware. Chances are another babe or two will play with these pans before they become obsolete.

Earlier this week I snapped a picture of Mauri with Darcy. I have quite a few pictures of those two together. Surprised? This one, in particular, caught my attention because it took me back to the late 1980s when I took a similar shot. Here they are. Mauri with Champ Mauri with Mr. Darcy

I never tire of anything photo related. I know you know. Probably the most fun is playing the matching game.  Paul and Quinn share a birthday cake. Mauri and Rachel share a cake. That’s me in my Taylor Tot. Mauri had one too. Finally, these are my little darlings—their first night in a big bed. [...]

A while back I “warned” you that I love series and that you might expect to see them from time to time. Well, here are two I’ve been enjoying quite a bit lately. Cassidy, age 3 Casasidy, age 5. I have a feeling we won’t be adding more pictures to this series, since she seems [...]

I first met Craig MacDonald when he was my Sunday school teacher at Berean Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Even though that was in the late ’80s, I think, I still carry with me his important teachings. Craig has many interests, and he writes about them every day, faithfully, on his blog. Earlier this [...]

old series, new series

| December 27, 2008

A while ago I issued a warning that I love series pictures and would probably be posting them from time to time. I hope that warning’s still in effect because I have a couple of fun (at least I think they’re fun) pictures series for you. The first one goes back a few years, six [...]

Here’s a short series of our John. Something’s missing.
