Flashback Friday- Happy Birthday Luke

Happy Birthday to my dear, handsome, clever, funny husband. I'm crazy for you.  Here's to another great year! (Let's make it slightly less eventful than we did three years ago when the morning of your birthday I took a home pregnancy test and called out to you from the bathroom, "Well...I've got some birthday news for you...)

Here is Lucas at two years old:

And here is Milo this week:

Flashback Friday- Happy Birthday, Marji

This Flashback Friday is dedicated to my wonderful mother-in-law who celebrated a birthday yesterday.  This picture is of her blowing out the candles on her third birthday cake.  Isn't it adorable?  I love this shot and I love how much Milo looks like her here.

Flashback Friday- Scowl and Towel

Little Luke!

Flashback Friday- Grammie

Grammie Feerer at age 10. What a cutie. Something about this picture reminds me of cousin Avery.

Flashback Friday- Teary-eyed edition

My little sister wrote this for a school assignment in what I'm guessing was junior high.  It makes me cry but is also somehow reassuring knowing that my Grandma Rush could be an important influence even after she had passed on.  I know she is for me.

Transcript:

If I had the opportunity to interview anyone living or dead I’d definitely (sic) choose my grandma.  She was my mom’s mother and died 11 months before I was born.  I never got the chance to know her and I can tell that she was a special lady by the way my mom and family miss her and talk about her.  I would want to ask her what my mom was like as a kid and if my mom was anything like her.  I’d also like to know if she was alive now would she be proud of me and love me.  It’s weird.  I never knew her, but I still miss her.

Flashback Friday- Grandpa Corzine

I have a vague sense that I've used this picture for Flashback Friday before.  Does anybody remember?  My record keeping system for this little endevour has broken down and if I want to get this posted before it has to be called Flashback Saturday I won't have time to look back through old posts.

Anyway- this is a picture of my Grandpa Corzine and me.  It was taken on the front porch of our house in Atlanta.  I think they had come to visit to meet Joel for the first time so I would be about 2.5 years old here. 

We've had a productive evening working on the house.  There are currently two 12 foot scaffolds here.  This weekend's project is putting up a planked ceiling in the great room.  I know I've terribly neglected the sugar sugar house blog but I have plans to rectify that and soon. 

Flashback Friday- 3 Whole Weeks Ago

Here are some family pictures we snapped before Lea's wedding.  And yes, I have lots more wedding pictures to post!  This blog helps us keep in touch with everyone but it's other function is as our scrapbook- so an important occasion like this one means LOTS of photos.

Flashback Friday- Not So Far Back

This was taken of Ruby and Levi in Chicago in December 2007- back when there were only two wee ones.  Levi was 6 weeks old and Ruby was 16 months old- even younger than Milo is now.  Our clan has grown since then and Ruby heads off to kindergarten next week!

Flashback Friday- Baby Lynn

Here's a picture of my father-in-law shortly before he grew his beard.

Flashback Friday- Baby Corrine

Marji and baby Corrine

Flashback Friday- Corrine and Luke

Levi looks so much like Lucas!

Flashback Friday - Grandma Great, 1926

I think she would be 18 years old here.

Back of the photo.  It reads: Nellie Meadows Corzine,  I have my hand bandaged but maybe it won't hurt the picture.  I had my thumb lanced 2 wks ago.  Dayton Ohio, 7/14 - 26.

Flashback Friday- Aunt Kathy and Grandma Rush

My Aunt Kathy holding me as a newborn.

Grandma Rush holding me as a baby.

I love having these pictures- they are both looking down at me with so much love!

Flashback Friday- Feerers

Marji, Uncle Warren, Grammie, Uncle Vint, and Aunt Liz sometime in the mid-70s.  Feel free to leave a comment explaining the occasion!

Flashback Friday- Grandpa Dickson

Grandpa Dickson has been on our mind this week as we remembered his birthday yesterday.  Here he is in 1960 all dressed and ready to go square dancing with Grandma.

Flashback Friday- Siblings

Here is a picture of a 2 year old Luke and a baby Corrine in what must be late 1979.  So cute!

Flashback Friday- Roy Rogers

This is a photo of my Dad as a youngster.  I'll have to ask Grandma how old he is in this picture.  He's the one wearing a holster and the Roy Rogers t-shirt.  Also in the photo are my Uncle Rick and the Borst girls, their neighbors.

Flashback Friday- Easter '88ish

Luke and I have been together for over 6 years now and I've seen him dressed many ways- work clothes, play clothes, soccer clothes, swimsuit, ski gear, and even overalls, but I have never seen the man sporting a cardigan...that is until now...

look how much likeness there is between Marji and Luke here.

Flashback Friday- little Lucas

The date on the back of this photo says September of 1978.  Lucas would be 14 months old here.  We got a kick out of this one because the expression on his face looks a lot like Milo's mad face.

Flashback Friday- Grandma Gladys

This is my Grandma Corzine when she was around 10 years old (I think!).  So cute!
