As I was going through the pictures, I realized how much Hollon looks, smiles and acts like I did at the same age! Here are some pictures. I think that maybe, eventually, we might be able to do the same for Stuart's baby pictures.
I have to say, I got quite teary-eyed, looking at my mom and dad in their young age as parents, about the same age as Stuart and I are now. Mom was (and still is) so beautiful and my dad so handsome. I remembered my grandparents and great-grandparents, two still living and the others, now gone. I saw pictures of my aunts and uncles, still young and unmarried without children of their own yet (I was the first grandchild out of many); my uncle Tim was only 13 at the time. I was able to take a glimpse into life in the late 70's, early 80's and it really hit me, that my parents went through the exact same tough times and turmoils that parents go through - and all the while, were so happy to have been blessed with, of all things, me! I guess I just got a little emotional.
Anyways, back to the task at hand....enjoy these pictures!
September 25th, 1977 - 1 day old - just me and my dad. I didn't realize that I was born with quite a bit of blond hair.....
Hollon Meredith 7/30/07 ..... though Hollon was born with loads more blonde hair than even I!
My baptism day 10/16/1977
Me - 7/1977 - 22 months old (the same age as Hollon is now).
Hollon - 5/2009 - 22 months old
Me 9/24/1979 - My 2nd birthday!
I'll post more pictures as I go through them. I hope to get some of Stuart too. In addition, I still need to post the rest of our pictures from Apalachicola and the pictures from the flower pots Hollon painted for the grandmother's for mother's day.
See you soon!
The resemblance is remarkable! How'd you give birth to yourself?
