Some pictures from days gone by...

Some dear friends of ours inspired me when they put up several series' of posts entitled "Through the Ages" in which they had photos of their family through the years. I was looking through our photo albums with my grandmother, and thought, "Why not do that too?". *grin*

Without further ado...


Here's Moosh and I ready to get Baptized. :-) I'm not really sure what Christa's doing in the baptistry, but I'm sure she had a good reason. :-D


Caleb was one of the cutest babies I'd ever seen. He drooled a lot though. :P :-)


I still, to this day, have no idea as to who is behind those sheets and blankets...



Look at that little girl...so patient with her little brother!
*grin*


Tiff was an elf in a Christmas play.
Doesn't she look cute?



Everyone has there dorky days. Right? :)


...and the guys.
(By the way, that's our Great Grandfather on Dad's side in the middle!)



*happy days are here again* :-)



Tiff and Moosh doing something at this little old fashioned village near our house.
Cute!


Christa and I with a friend and a cousin at our joint birthday party.
Those were the days...



Got bugs?


I think I'm attempting to get some sandals on his feet in this picture.



Our first house that we built...it's just about done in this picture.
Look at us! We make me laugh just looking at us! :-D



Dad and Me. :-)



Setting up the Christmas tree wears Dad out...



Dad and Mom in front of the Alamo in San Antonio!



Easter with the family!
That's all of us kids (Caleb on up) with our cousins, Lindsay and Kyle at Mimi and Papa's house!



Inside our "still being built" house! :-)


Abigail is born...and our house still isn't finished...


Dad and Caleb soakin' up some sun at Adventure Bay!


Maybe at some point I'll post some more (no promise's there!). Hope y'all enjoyed a little peek into our life!



In Christ Alone,

Jessica

Oh dear...would you just look at us?!? So very nerdy, but so very happy in our nerdiness. :)

So patient...*knowing smile*

Caleb has always been cute, I can't believe how chubby he was. :)

It's our house...oh, how I miss that house! :(

*laughing* You wanna go out and get another tan like that? ;)

Love you!

You've always had a lovely family! I found your and your sister's blog through your mother's several months ago and check back every so often. Your Christlike attitude is a blessing in this day and age! Have a blessed day!

Good post-takes you back to the good old 90's.=) The house you built was lovely.

Rhonda said...

I love going back and looking at old family pictures! It is so much fun.

I have a question - the first picture confused me a little. You all are Presbyterian right? Wouldn't that mean you were paedobaptist? Just curious...

Jessica McDonald said...

Tiff, hehe. Well if we could get ourselves outside for hours every day again, that would be amazing! :D Let's give it a try!! :D Love you, sis!

Denise, Thank you! God bless!

Jen, Yes! It certainly is! :)

Lis, Lol!! Thank you, deary! Yes! You should do a post like it! I'd love to see y'all's old family pictures!! :)

Elizabeth, Thanks! :D

Rhonda, It is lots of fun! Yes, we are Presbyterian now. We were Non-Denominational back then. :-)



Thank you so much y'all for commenting! God bless!

In Christ Alone,

Jessica

Rhonda said...

Thanks for the reply, Jessica. Makes sense now. :)

Josiah David said...

I really liked the last picture of Caleb and your dad.

Jessica McDonald said...

Mr. H, Thank you!! I will try!

Mrs. H, :D Thank you...it *is* fun to look back! Sometime when y'all are over at our house we'll have to show y'all more. :) Love to y'all!

Rhonda, You're very welcome. :)

Josiah, Wasn't Caleb a doll?? :) And Dad too... :)

Awww, what fun! You all look so cute and you can really tell that it's you even though it was so long ago! Oh the days of shorts, t-shirts and tennis shoes... :-)
