34/365 Then and Now

It was a little harder today deciding who I wanted to focus on. The prompt is "Then and Now" and I could have gone with any of the 3 kids, Joe or even the dog. But in the end I decided on Emaleigh, my first born. My Babe. My sweet, happy, silly, full of personality girl.

And, of course, I couldn't stop with just one "Then" so we have 3. ;-) The first 2 were taken by my dad. I don't have a scanner so I had to take pictures of the pictures. So the quality of them isn't what it should be.

Her first Halloween, age 6 months. October 1997.

It's cold, dark and threatening to rain on us any minute so I just took her outside real quick.

how fun. these are great. So fun, to see how she's grown up. I want to do Shawn but he doesn't get home until late, late tonight, from his business trip. Do you think it's ok, if I do it a day late?

Cheryl, I would think that would be okay :-)

How fun to see how she has changed! Wouldn't it be nice to have time stand still for a bit. She's grown up so much and looks just as sweet!

It all goes by so fast!

This was a good assignment, wasn't it!?! She still looks happy to comply for the camera after all those years!

Great idea to do more than one then! I like that idea and I adore the recent picture you snapped. Isn't it wonderful how this project is making us get some really good shots that we might have let get by otherwise. Nice post.
