Here’s a shot of me just before my second birthday. You can see mom — about seven months pregnant with my little sister! — in the passenger seat of this Toyota Corolla. I assume dad took the photo. (I owned a 1980 Corolla-Tercel that looked almost exactly like this when I was in college!)
This photo isn’t dated at all, but I can’t be much more than a month old and it’s in a photo album full of pictures from just after bringing me home from the hospital. I think, but am not sure, that we were living on Lakeside Avenue in Warwick, RI when I was born. Dad […]

I really wish mom had done a better job of writing dates on photographs. I have no way to know when this photo was taken. I am guessing — and it really is a guess — that it might be her confirmation, which would place it sometime around 1960. But I just don’t know. Maybe […]
As far as I know, this is the earliest photo that exists of mom. She was born in late September, and looks to be about three months old, so I’m guessing this was taken around Christmas of 1948. I love this photo and it brings me such joy to see her so happy, even if […]
