Real Life Family- A picture from the past...

Oh my.. Some times i would love to go back to film days. 

Not totally.

But those were some of the "best" pics that would arrive by mail, etc.

It captured the moment. 

No erasing.

Retaking 20 times, etc.

You got what you got. 

Introducing my family. 

Twelve years ago to be exact. 

I've got a sister 3 yrs older then me.

A brother 5 yrs younger.

And a sister 7 yrs younger.

This was supposed to be a quick, sweet family picture.

Before we left the land of Pinecraft, FLA.. 

To head back to the freezing land of PA.

The story behind the madness and laughter. 

Ha:)

I loved to tell my lil brother what to wear and how to wear it. 

snicker. 

I bought him that cool Gap hat. 

But he wasn't wearing it correctly for the picture..

So i must have been bossing him around a bit telling him how it must be worn.. 

(Oh believe me i don't remember this, this is what he said!!!)

When he wouldn't obey my command i let it go..

But this is where strong lil sister comes in.. 

She reaches over and scratches and scratches him.. Much to her delight of course... 

And that is what caused this face on brother- <mad>

And this face on sister <delighted>

The rest of us burst into laughter as you can see... 

Me even to the point of having to wipe away a tear or two.

Sweet Grandma just kept snapping (the camera, that is).. 

And that is how we started the 24 trek back to PA. 

Good start, huh?:) 

Oh and who can forget the stop in Ga on the way home?.. 

To meet the future bro-in law for the first time...

Pictures are worth a thousand words.. 

Don't forget to take some today. 

Years from now you'll be so glad you did...:)

Oh and here we are just one year ago.. We've changed a little.. 

;)

Little sister is no longer the bat chasing, nail scratching sister she once was... 

Little brother wears his clothes ok now..:) 

Big sister got rid of that puffy hair..lol

But we still all know how to laugh when the need arises..
