I am so very grateful for the magic of photography. I love looking at old pictures of my parents and grandparents. It is so great that moments of the past have been captured for the coming generations to enjoy.

Dan and Helen look like they know how to have a good time, even when life was probably all too rough. So much fun to see these pictures... I feel even more grateful reading your posts.

Those are amazing pictures! You are lucky to have them. I know I treasure the old photographs that I have.
I've always wondered what my grandkids/great grandkids will think when they see pictures of me and my family. We have so much more technology-that pictures just aren't as uncommon as they were back then.

I love this post. So grateful for photography, like you say, but for the subjects of the photos too.

One question, though. What in the world type of vehicle is Grandma K standing in front of?

I loved your post. I thought the same things as the others....Lily looks like Mimi...Will looks like you, and Dan & Helen look like a riot! I also need to add that Cord looks like his Grandpa Keith.

I love old pictures too. You've inspired me to put some of mine on my Blog...you'll have to teach me how to do it.

Yes!! I agree, the family resemblance is strong. You are as cute as Will.

Wow, I can totally see the similarity btwn you and your mom! Cute. I also love the old photo with the couple laughing b/c its so candid. You rarely see old photos like that. They look so serious!
