Blue Genes

We have a pair of jeans that were my Dad’s when he was a baby. These suckers are almost 60 years old! There are pictures of me, my sister, and some of the cousins wearing them. We almost forgot all about them, and Clark had to wear them without a diaper to get them to fit. Of course, he peed on the precious family heirloom before the end of the photo shoot.

Here is my Dad wearing them at 3 months old. He is apparently a starving immigrant child.

Things to notice: HOT grandma. How did she have time to paint her toes? Also, she apparently avoided Mom Butt.

And here’s Clark!

Things to notice: The rocking chair is also an heirloom. My Dad bought it for my Mom when she was pregnant with me. Both my sister and I were rocked in it and now I have it. And those feet! I had no idea that they were so big until we compared them to Clark’s little friend Viola’s, whose are like, half the size. He gets them from his Dad, for sure. That toe stacking thing? Totally SB.

    Fantastic!
    I want you to know that I was talking to my dad on the phone just now & steered him to see this particular post (he’s nostalgic just like me), he cheered when he saw this post. (He also scrolled down & said very nice things abut your phtography) I love it too..and I have the cutest little dress that was mine when I was wee & have every intention of my daughter wearing it until it goes out of style.
    So cool!
