Continued "Pictures from the Past"

It doesn't seem like that many things happen that would interest the 'blog' crowd in my 'neck of the woods' on a daily basis, so hopefully everybody enjoys the scanning I've been doing for the kids' wedding shower next weekend.

(above) This is cousin Rachel (from MN) and Alex at Mary's cabin in Lake View, and I think it must be spring of 1987, making Alex 1+ and Rachel 3.

This is the first (and only) cat we had in our house as we were growing up. Her name was Daisy and this was taken in 1981 when she was 16 years old (we got her in 1965 when we moved to a new house).

This is the first 'Markey' cousins Christmas picture taken in 1986. That's Amanda on the left at about 5 months of age, Alex, about 10 months and Brian, 3 1/2 years old.

Reminiscing again while I scan more 'kid pics'.

This is Grandpa Walker hold Samantha as a newborn, with his first grandson by his side. (Alex... He had a 3 year old granddaughter already.) Grandpa John Walker LOVED the grandkids--ALL five of them!!

This is Alex getting his first look at his new sister (Samantha) in the hospital a few hours after she was born on 7/18/87. (He was 18 months old.)

Miscellaneous pictures from last week...

When Izaac was at 'camp' (here) he went out after it rained in his 'boat' shoes and stomped in a few puddles. It's what great-aunt Wo-Wo lets him do!

I can't remember this little boy's name from the first wedding shower Allison and Danielle held for Samantha last Saturday. He's 8 months old and was smiling before I turned him away from his mom!

From the wedding shower last Saturday--yum.

Samantha bought a 'Barbie' fishing rod and caught this fish with Marty the other evening! yikes--that Barbie must be powerful!
