This picture is a little dark (Polaroid pictures aren’t really in it for the long haul), but it’s me (Jane, in Dad’s arms), Dad, Audrey and Mom in the summer of 1981. We were standing in front of Nana and Papa’s house, and apparently they liked their privacy – I mean, could the windows be any MORE hidden by the bushes and the awnings!?
Here are Audrey (left) and I, again in front of Nana and Papa’s house in the summer of 1981. I like to whip this photo out when people ask me if I’m a natural blonde.
And here’s the whole fam in 1982 (Jane, Adam, Dad, Audrey, Keith and Mom). This time we were inside Nana and Papa’s house (can you tell I confiscated one of her old photo albums?). I remember that textured wallpaper. Audrey and I used to love feeling it, but Papa would get upset about our fingerprints on his walls (so we just did it when he wasn’t looking)!

[…] I came across this concept at Coming to a Nursery Near You. I love to see old pictures of people, and since I missed Wordless Wednesday this week, I thought I’d participate in Throwback Thursday! […]
How fun! I love this concept!
Great idea.
Some day when a scanner is in our inventory of tools I’ll have to give it a go.
Wow, that first picture…..I can TOTALLY see the resemblence between Jane and Benjamin. You can tell you’re family! 🙂
Love the flashbacks!
I love old pictures!
I so love seeing old pictures like that…don’t mean to say that you’re old, but you know what I mean! lol I had to smile when you mentioned showing people pictures of you as a child to prove you’re a true blonde…I do the same thing! lol xox
What wonderful group of pictures. You have a beautiful family and I love how each picture triggered specific memories that might otherwise have been forgotten. I think it is good to take out old pictures of us growing up and write as much detail as we can about them, like you did. I know my girls will appreciate it in the future and I probably will too. Thanks so much for sharing these with us!
In that first one- those are some big bushes!! And that one of you two hugging on the lawn- adorable!

Oooh I love the 2nd picture!
Such great shots as always! I love Thursdays!
