Carly has always had long hair with curls. Below are the pictures of her first haircut. She got it cut and shaped, but it still stayed long. We waited until she was two years old to get her haircut.

A Blast of the Past #24: Carly’s Second Birthday
Going from Christmas to birthday in the pictures shows a connection in the gifts between the two. The Unfinished Furniture store was getting a lot of business from us. Well, maybe not a lot, but all the business we had available. The big gift of the birthday was a toddler bed. Like the toy chest … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #24: Carly’s Second Birthday
A Blast of the Past #23: Christmas 1998
Browsing through the pictures this way often allows us to date memories that we have. From the pictures I can see that Christmas 1998 was a significant year for memorable objects. It was the year the letter trains. We gave both our daughter and her cousin trains that had cars made of letters that spelled … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #23: Christmas 1998
A Blast of the Past #22: Cute Cousins
The fall of 1998 seems to have a few of clear themes in its pictures: Reading, Cute Cousins, Sleeping in Odd places. I'm going to combine a couple of these, pictures of the cousins with books, and then miscellaneous reading and book pictures.
A Blast of the Past #21: College Reunion
I wrote a blog post about ten years before the reunion that is the subject of today's post. For this is the 10-year reunion. At graduation I had no idea where I was headed. At the five-year reunion I saw many people who were couples, and I was single. Yet my college sweetheart (we did … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #21: College Reunion
A Blast of the Past #20: Return to Caton
The summer of 1997 saw the Eastern branch of the family visit us in Missouri. The summer of 1998 was our turn to visit them. That summer they got to see what was then the youngest Lightfoot. We got to see some of them for the last time. Many of the pictures have both generations … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #20: Return to Caton
A Blast of the Past #19: Easter through the years
I came across these first couple of Easter pictures from 1998 and thought they were so cute, but I really didn't have enough with them alone to warrant a blog: So I decided to pick out photos from Easter through the years to augment the story. Quite interesting what years we took pictures, what ones … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #19: Easter through the years
A Blast of the Past #18: The Car
Betsy and I have only owned one new car each in our lives. It happens to be the same car, and we bought it in the spring of 1998. I remember it being bought at the end of April, almost on my birthday. That is how I remember when we bought it. It was at … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #18: The Car
A Blast of the Past #17: Carly’s First Birthday
To all you who have checked my blog regularly, and skimmed over my regurgitations and musings from one of my many coming textbooks, I give you a break between them, a pictorial stroll down family history past. There was a big present that first year: Big in size at least. As you see below it … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #17: Carly’s First Birthday
A Blast of the Past #16: Christmas in Missouri. circa 1997
The above picture is probably the iconic family picture from Christmas 1997. Here Carly isn't quite a year, and sits so sweetly with the M&M candy cane held in her hands. That was a year where we had a live tree, as you can see above. The big wrapped packages were the parts of the … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #16: Christmas in Missouri. circa 1997
