The Christening
“This was my Christening, June 1971. I’m the baby obviously, my Godmother is holding me, my parents are next to her. Their hideous outfits aren’t the “awkward” part of this photo. In the background, my grandmother is pulling my sister’s hair while my brother is recovering from a smack! All of this right on the front steps of a church.”

It’s A Miracle
“This is a photo of my husband (standing on the right) at age 9 attentively watching his Grandmother change his young cousin’s diaper. I can’t decide what’s more hilarious: the fact that he’s wearing a dust mask, or the open jar of miracle whip on the table. LOL!!”

The Wonder of Nature
“We came all the way from Minnesota. My husband and I kept telling our three kids how breathtaking and amazing the Grand Canyon was. When we arrived the entire thing was covered in fog and we couldn’t see a thing!”

Ballers
“We’re a big sports family and basketball is particularly valued. With nearly every kid having taken their turn on the court (and their father as the team coach more than once), we decided to forego the traditional fireplace/piano/studio family photo one year for this “jump ball” monstrosity staged in a high school gym with me as the ref, my parents as the coaches (notice my dad yelling at me) and my brothers and sisters as the players.”
