Spring girls

Esther and I, spring 1986

Father's Day 1985

Esther and I on Father's Day, 1985. I was 3 years old; she was 3 months--and look at how much hair she's got!`

The coolest

Filling my waterbed, and showing off my shaved head sometime during the late spring/early summer of 1999.

Grandma and Papa's 25th anniversary

My dad's parents' 25th anniversary, 1979. L to R: Uncle Doug, Aunt Lucille, Papa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad.

4th Birthday

My 4th birthday party, with the giant birthday cookie that Mom made instead of a cake.

College grad

My college grad, 2004. Mom, me, Carl, and Dad--and this is the picture where some people say that Carl looks slightly like a blonde Harry Potter.

High School Grad

The family at my high school grad, 2000. Mom, Esther, Carl, me, and Dad.

Bathing Beauties

Esther and I in the bathtub, sometime in 1986 (around ages 4 and 1). We both had (still do, actually) a *lot* of hair.

Rocking horse

Carl on the rocking horse that Uncle Kinne built for me when I was a baby. The inscription on the bottom said, "To the Anderson children," though, even though I was the only one around at the time. It was a pre-emptive gesture to avoid the "That's mine! You can't touch it!" fights that would surely come with younger siblings.

Carl and Becky

Carl and my cousin Becky (they're 10 days apart) in early 1989. We have no idea what was so funny, but something was apparently hilarious!

Esther's bum

Esther's starry, starry... bum. Christmas 2004, I think.

My second Stampede

Dad and me at Stampede 1983.

Blowing

Carl helping Dad blow on his food; 1991.

New engine parts?

Carl "helping" Dad fix his truck in 1994.
