throwback thursday. [156.365]

This day, two years ago. She was such a chunklet!

this time last year. [135.365]

Actually, this is from about one week earlier than this time last year, at which time apparently the lilacs had already bloomed. I think they're finally blooming here now, so maybe if we walk to Highland Park this weekend we'll actually get to see some! Thank goodness for Throwback Thursday (though does a one year…

throwback thursday. [107.365]

Me, on my dorm couch after I got back from running my first Boston Marathon back in 2003. I got a horrendous sunburn during that race! Thursday turned out to be a hideous day for me - I managed to get through teaching my two classes only to end up curled up on the floor…

tbt: me at my grandparents’ piano. [93.365]

My mom says I was about 20 months old in this picture. I had *so* much more hair than M did at 20 months! I LOVED the piano at my mom's parents house; we didn't have a piano at home, so anytime we visited my grandparents (usually 2x a year at most - they lived…

9 years ago today. [79.365]

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary. Since it's also a Thursday, I went hunting for photos from our wedding, but then remembered that there really aren't any. This will forever be something I'm sad about (I have similar feelings about our inability to get "real" photos taken of M when she was a newborn). We…

four generations. [65.365]

For Throwback thursday: four generations of my family (my dad's mom's side) in one photo! This was taken back in '91 (which means I was 8 and my brother was 7), right after we'd moved up to Rochester, MN from Raleigh, NC. My dad's parents brought my grandma's parents up to visit us in our…
