family: the beginning

You have to appreciate the ability to gather old family photos, scan them onto a computer and then share them with whoever (in the whole wide world!) that you will. I've posted a couple times before, sharing photographic history of my family and those before me. As I go through these photos and as I get older, they seem more and more precious and priceless to me. It's a visual diary of whom and where I come from and for that, I am forever thankful...

You have to love the seventies! Look at how hip my parents are, I love it! I love my mom's down to earth look with her long hair and flowy dress. I can't leave out my dad either with his 'fro (from his natural curly hair)!

A family outing, again loving my mom's entire look from this day. I wasn't doing too bad either with my frilly tank top and pony tails :)

My maternal grandparents, Carmina and James, celebrating my first birthday with me (fyi: we still have that old victorian 'munster family' sofa. it's been reupholstered a couple of times. Now, the wood is painted black and the fabric is a beige duck cotton).

My brother and I before our sibling rivalry catapulted (but we love each other)!

A day at the beach with my momma and her awesome eighties glasses :)

Me in my favorite spot, on top of my dad's belly. Poor pillow though, suffering from soul glow OD (just kidding, I love you dad)!

Here I am, again at the beach sporting a Puerto Rico tank top. I wish I still had that, it was awesome and now would be soooooo vintage (and not the fake Old Navy kind either).

I have more that I would like to share so if you like viewing them, more will come :)
