SepteRemember: Mom & John #6

This is one of my favorite photos of our family. I was too little to remember sitting for this photo session but from this shot it sure looks like we had a lot of fun. Well, I look a bit mesmerized. And John seems awfully interested in that funnel. I bet there's candy inside. Mom looks a lot like her sister Joyce in this photo. Joyce married my dad's brother Dave so their girls are our double cousins. I always thought that was pretty cool.



From this footnote to the proceedings it look as if Dad was:

  1. 1) really tuckered out,
  2. 2) suffering from narcolepsy, or
  3. 3) hamming it up as usual.
And for some reason, I don't appear that amused.

  1. You have a very similar expression in both pictures. Dad... not so much. I'm going to go with the hamming it up as usual.

  2. This was a fun sitting. Carolyn had just cut her own hair with some scissors left in the wrong place. It was for our 1970 Christmas Card, I think.

    One of the members of the Antioch CoB took the pictures.

  3. Ah, fun with scissors. You did a good job of covering up her self-styling. It's not that noticable.

    I'm just glad she didn't move on to cutting my hair!

  4. Is it a funnel or a party hat?
