Cousins, Part 2

I can hear y'all saying, "Ahhhh..." Yeah, my Dad dug out this cutie in his winter quest to convert his favorite slide images to the digital era. He gave me this one over Christmas and I thought I would share with you. I'm guessing I was about 18 months older than Ellie is now. Growing up without a brother, my cousin Dallas filled that role. Bug and I looked forward to visits from our cousins in Chicago, Dallas and Chad, in a way I can't describe. They brought a fun and energy that two little girls in the country just didn't experience every day. Today, Dallas and Chad are all grown up and living in LA and Kansas City, respectively, and visits are fewer and farther between -- but thank goodness for the internet and blogging for staying in touch!

Chad, I love how you're clutching that TV cart like an elderly person clinging to a walker!
And oh yeah, who's idea was it that we model seed corn caps?

That's Chad by the TV and my fat leg and arm on the right. If this was Christmas, Chad was a year old.

You're right.....aahhhh. You guys were always so cute together.
At some point we are going to have to share all these old slides.

If I'm 1 in that picture, it's Christmas 1978. And I think the indoor tree in the background is a significant indication.
