Through the years!
As some of you may know, a video was created for my auntie's 25 wedding anniversary. In the process of rifling through tons of photographs, I uncovered some of my sister and I when we were young along with my cousins marc and ross. Many were taken at my aunt's place where most holidays were spent - some sleepovers lasted up to 2 weeks! I remember being embarrased of these photos and looking at them now, I know why! Those glasses were the bane of my existence until contact lenses were permitted into my life. Things were never the same after that! What about the tucked in shirts, the dangling earrings and those "plastic smiles" (read - actually not in the mood to smile but will do so only for camera and photographic opportunities), the hair, oh the god forsaken hair of unruly curls, frizz at the side and on top, waves and bangs, , the braces and the oversized shirts that belonged to my mother or borrowed from em because we had no more clothes and wanted to stay some more!
Looking at them now, I also wonder what my daughter will look like - her face has already changed about 5 times in the last 2 months. Will she look like me, edward, our siblings, our parents, a mix or will she have the her own uniqueness and originality? Only time witll tell but as god is my witness, I make this promise to her and to all of you - she can rebond her hair anytime she wants.

those were lovely times, where
you and Tuff were marc & ross' "sisters", and the stayovers at my place. Good good times. Hope Caitlin could/would experience the same with her aunties/cousins.
As for hair,so far her's seems to be behaving, she can just borrow her Godma's straightener.

Humiliating.
Those were simpler times indeed... where all we did was bring Ross to see "Uncle Bob" at McDonalds and I always got stuck with the crappy toys! I so got bullied.
And now look at us - all grown up - with a new generation starting already. Hopefully, she will have that same company of cousins. Barry better get crackin'!!
