Backyard Family Snapshot

This gem was likely taken in the spring of 1988, possibly on Easter. No idea who took this picture, but I like that we all had to face the sun and squint/shield our eyes/see spots for the rest of the day. The off-kilter camera angle is a trip, too. And look! The neighbors are building a deck.

Moving to Schererville

This picture was snapped in my grandparent's driveway the first week of October 1986 when we moved to Schererville. We visited my Grandpa and Grandma Nodland in Ankeny that week. My grandparents took this picture early in the morning as we loaded into the car to go to our new house. Dave was almost 2 years old and Abby wasn't born yet. I still remember that entire day like it was yesterday. And I'm still not a morning person.
