Dad's were babies once...

My parents are in the middle of a big big move. Only 20 minutes away from where they live now, but they have so much stuff and memories that it will take a long long time to get everything pared down and moved....So anyway, I was sorting several boxes of miscellaneous stuff. Putting photos to be sorted AFTER the move into one box and memorabilia paper stuff in another for a scrapbook someday.
I came across these of my dad and Grandma when he was 7 months old.
As I'm looking through the series, I suddenly kind of jumped when I saw this one...

I had to show it to Dad and have him tell me the story behind it! But he didn't know and looked really confused. He's trying to figure out if that was his dad hiding in the bushes after working on the farm or if he's being kidnapped...

Wow... They're never going to get moved if I keep getting bogged down with these adorable little pics!

What adorable pics! My dad was doing some geneology research and sent me some baby pics of him. It is so awesome to see your dad as a baby!

Funny!
Some of my favorite old photos are of my daddy. Adorable. I could get lost in them for a long, long time.

I love looking through photos of a generation (or two) ago. Like you, I could spend a lot of time with them. These are sweet photos...I like that there's a mystery to the last one.

That last one is fascinating! I love how they got so dressed up in older photos. Now, we just look like a bunch of hooligans!

My parents made their first move since they were married about 8 years ago...in a house they lived in for almost 50 years! Ugh! (Can you say "Pack Rat?") That was very good for my Mom...to see how to get rid of things...they moved about 200 miles away, so they really had to pare things down...(however, they still have a lot of stuff...and I'm both executor of my mom's will and her power of attorney...I've got my work cut out for me!)

Love, love, love that picture! I was looking at it for a LONG TIME! ???!!!! Hilarious!

How cute, I wonder what happened to my dads baby pictures when my gran died, being in South Africa we really didn't get any "memories" at all
