Me and my Sister

I don't remember the year but I think this was taken at Tecumseh Park behind the baseball field.

2nd Grade 1978-79

Originally I was not going to post school pictures but I am lazy and they were at the top of the box. Here is 4 random school pictures.

Lovely hairdo for picture day don't you think?

School Picture #4

Humpty Dumpty and me?

Ok Mom and Dad, test your memory with this one. Any ideas?

Sledding on the sidewalk?

Todd and Lauri being pulled by Ed probably. It looks like there is a third kid hanging on, can't tell. I'm thinking this photo is sometime after 1980.

Kyle and Todd

Here is another one not from the Big Box. This is me holding Kyle Stoufer in the fall of 1989. It was probably the first weekend I came home from my freshman year in college.

Playing Marbles

Halli and Todd. This is from the same set as Bill and Lauri's B-day party below, so August of 80 or 81.

Hippie Children of August

I love this picture! Lauri and Bill showing off their B-day cakes in August of 80? 81?

I like this one.

This one is not from the big box. Kathleen took this one from the first wedding. I pulled this out from some pictures I posted on Facebook tonight. Damn it's been almost 10 years since this was taken, sigh.

On becoming Grandparents

New (at the time) Grandparents Ed and Obe with Nolan on his Baptism day, June 27th 1999.

Breakfast and Math?

Lauri sometime in 1980. I love how she is eating cereal and playing with a calculator as well. Also note the "dippy" on the table.

Ladies Man

Mike and Obe cutting a rug at Lauri's first wedding. 07/26/2000

Round and Round

Not sure if this in Defiance and I think Lauri 2-3 years old in this pic.

Chris and Chris

What year did they get married and does anyone know who the children are in the photo?

Christmas '83 or '84

I want to say this is Christmas of '84. I think that is when I got that stereo that if I never said it before, I really appreciated that thing. Also, Cabbage Patch doll is front and center but the real point to the photo? Holy Crap at the size of Muffin as a puppy. I do not remember her being that small.

The Decade of Sweaters

Halli at Christmas in the 80's. The time of perms, sweaters and many other things that we want to forget. So far most of the Christmas pics have been from the same year I think.

Little Lauri?

I cannot tell where this is from. Would it be Guam?

I still make this look...

according to Kathleen. I am guessing this is '74 at Grandmother and Grandfathers home of the time. I make that guess based on the keychain.

Not the first nor the last.

This is Summit Street I think; from the bad flooding in the 80's. I cannot remember what year it was. Was it this bad earlier this year?

Watch those ashes!!

I am assuming Mom is attending to me in that basket/suitcase looking thing. This is somewhere in England in 1971.

Kermit and Lauri

Denise, Lauri, and Bill at a B-day party for Lauri/Bill. So of course this was in August in .... '80 or '81?

Babies love the beard.

Ed with Nolan in October of '99. So who pulled at the beard the most?

Todd and Halli

Jean Christmas '81

Jean during her Asian fetish years. What I mean by that is Jean had a liking for Asian themed clothes and home decor in the early 80's. That still does not exist now does it? This is the second "Jean at Christmas" picture I have pulled out of the box by the way. I have a feeling there will be more.
