“When I was in middle school, I wanted to take ice skating lessons. My mom, who was always very competitive, decided to sign up too. This photo was taken the day we had our big performance and mom, of course, was better than I was.”

An Easter Blessing
“Our 1986 Easter was a festive affair. Here we are all dressed up with my sister beating the tar out of my brother while I look in with my amazing feathered hair. Oh, and Dad was busy taking the picture instead of rescuing my brother.”
