You have my cousin Kathi to thank for this!

[wednes]

Until this afternoon, I had zero pictures of me and my family growing up. I was diligent about taking pics and organizing photo albums as a kid. Not so much anymore. I thought it might be cool to have some old pics of me and the fam. My cousin Kathi, who is the daughter of my Aunt Barb, was kind enough to dig up some pics, scan them, and Email them to me. Here are a few that are so adorable and funny, I don't even feel the need to use an LJ cut:

Yellow tights Me, getting ready for dance class in 1976. That would explain the couch.

Me, ordering two of something If there was anything cooler than the 80's, it was pretending the 80's were the 60's.

Totally Wednes Behind my right me is my cousin Kathi in the red dress, behind my left is my Uncle Bob.

Christmas 1980 That's me and my bro-hams. Chad is the one holding the picture in the KISS shirt. Mark is the one in the Tweety shirt. And the kid in front of me is, again, my cousin Kathi

Halloween 1980 This is us in our Halloween costumes. I'm supposed to be some kind of Indian princess or something, I forget exactly.

Oh, what a cutie pie!

Groan. See the entry I just posted. Getting my family's photos into the right order has been a herculean task! Maybe it was good that I didn't realize the enormity of this task when I decided to take it on.

Yes, I've been following your progress on that for some time now. It looks like it's been quite an adventure!

Great pics! I love the one of you making the peace sign, and you in the pink top.

Ah yes...teen years. I hear they're the best years of your life. NOT!

My 30's, however, have kicked ass.

And just so you get the full effect, those jeans are acid washed on the bottom, and I have on a yellow polka-dot blouse (not tucked in) with a pink sweater over it. And if memory serves, I wanted to put the collar up but my mom said 'no.'

[groovesinorbit]

Hee! I hear you on the teen years.

I have all the photo albums that my dad put together plus my own. I ought to take some digital pics or some of the choicest ones.

Collar up is really the only way to go. ; )

I have a picture of me wearing the exact same outfit...

And you were a beautiful child! These photos are a treasure. Thanks for sharing.

That is the scariest mouse I've ever seen! RAWR!!!

I think he thought he was a wolf, not a mouse. ;-] Boy is he gonna feel silly!

These are a lot of fun! Rummaging through old photos is pretty much my favorite thing to do when I visit my parents. This makes me want to go back and find some more

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Well considering I didn't even have to interact with my parents to get these--I'm quite stoked.

[absinthofheart.livejournal.com]

Aw! You were adorable! Still are, really!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Pics of me from childhood are quite rare--in this part of the world at least.

In the Christmas one with your brothers, you could easily be a sister of Kassy. Similar skull shape, eye placement and coloring.

Very cool. Kassy is your long lost sister.

How funny, I just saw Kassy over the weekend. She met a guy who writes for bloody_disgusting so she's passing my new book along to him. I hope he likes it, because that would be a good get.
