I have been so consumed with my family history. I have some of my Grandma's photo albums and I am scanning and saving pictures so that anyone who wants a copy can have one.
I only recently found out that my Papa (Grandfather) had a sister that passed away when she was only 13. I don't know if it's because I have a 13 year old of my own, but I have been slightly obsessed with finding pictures of her. So far I have come across 3 and I just think they're are so special.
This is one of my favorites of her. I love how everyone is dressed up. I also kind of like how her's is the only face you can really see. There are so many pictures of everyone else, I like how this one is kind of just hers.
I also came across a photo of my dad on a swing that reminded me so much of my nephew. I always think my sister's son looks so much like his daddy, but in this picture I do see a little of our genes in him.
Here's a picture of my nephew at the park.

I am really enjoying all of the pictures and history and questions. I am going to spend the day with my Grandma next week and she's going to help me fill in some of the blanks. I can't wait.
Happy St. Patrick's Day !

I love all the old phots--they are fantastic! Isn't it amazing to see the resemblance in your dad & nephew?!? There is a picture of my dad when he was about 5 sitting in the grass grinning & my nephew looked so much like him in that picture at the same age...but, most of the time he looks like my brother in law! Can't wait to hear more stories!
I adore this whole post-- especiallly the photos. So excited to hear more about your talks with Grandma.
