50 Years of Fantastic: 1967 and Comparing Kids

Before we get into 1967, I had to try a little comparing. As I was going through the photos I found the most darling picture of Mark in a sweater, and I just happened to have taken a picture of Duncan in a sweater a few hours earlier. Shall we see if there is a family resemblance?

This is Mark, 12-13 months old

This is Duncan, 16 months old

What do you think? I wish Duncan's hat was off. That might make a difference. I think their mouths and cheeks are really similar though. One thing that they both have in common FOR SURE though, is the cuteness.

And now on to 1967!

Here is sweet, 2 year old Stacey in January. Again, her hair is amazing! Mom, how did you get a 2 year old to let you take the time to style her hair lilke that? Now look at her eyes and Duncan's eyes from above. Do they look similar? I think so!

I just had to put this one in, because I remember having sooooo many pictures of Dad with his head cut off! And so it begins!

I had that dining set for years. It was so hard to give away.
I hope someone is loving it like I did, right now. These two color
shots are from Thanksgiving.

I have to laugh at Mark's expression. It's like he's
looking at that paper and thinking,
"Are you sure I'm supposed to be seeing this?"

I'm not sure what Mark is playing with, but that
football uniform is excellent! Fully decked
out for tackle football at 4 years old.
No wonder he's such a sports fan!

Those patio supports were great for climbing. Especially if you wanted to climb up on the roof to lay out, or some other awesome thing like that. Is that a stump behind Stacey? I think I remember liking to stand on that. And were there a few little stumps around it? I'm sure I remember walking on those! Am I right?

A new member of the family arrived in 1967. A basset hound named Gaylord. Where did that name come from, anyway? Gaylord was the best dog ever, according to Mom. For some reason, I thought he was still around when I was very little, but I also thought you only had him for a couple of years. Which is it?

Now we'll move to some beautiful family Easter shots. I'm going to make them as big as I can, so you can really enjoy them.
