One of my third cousins put this photograph up on Facebook today:

Obviously, this was taken well before I was born, but I do recognize my dad (in the center, standing with his arms crossed and looking down at the others)….and a few of my aunts & uncles.

I just love old photos like this.  It gives me a chance to see what life was like for my dad and my Grandma – who raised her brood of 11 kids and 1 granddaughter without a husband as my Grandpa died in a house fire when my dad was 7.  One of Grandma’s daughters had kids before Grandma was done having kids, so that’s why there are so many kids in this picture.  But, I’m pretty sure they’re all related to me!
