The Infamous Fuzzy Sucker Christmas With Kathryn and David

One minute you're having fun playing with your toys and enjoying your lollipop, then you take a moment to pose for the camera and the next thing you know your are licking a fuzzy sucker! What a dissapointment. Makes for amazingly cute photos though.

Raggedy Ann Christmas With Kathryn and David

That life sized Raggedy Ann doll was my favorite doll ever! My brother, David, got that crazy little clown. That clown suit was so cute! The Raggedy Ann dolls were the inspiration for the life sized ones that I made for my children when they were younger. I created them with the same hair and eye color and styles as each child.
I don't know why the photo scanned with so much white around the edge. Sorry.



Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.

Kathryn and David at Ballenger Park

My father took this photo of my brother and I in the early 70's while we were playing in Ballenger Park which was just down the block from our childhood home.



You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again.
