Family photos are turning digital! It's a perfect way to protect images of your ancestors forever.

I will turn twenty-nine this summer. For those of you who are quick with the arithmetic, you might notice that I was born waaaay back in ultra-hip 1977. And for those of you who don't remember, the 70's bled right over into the 80's.

Trust me, I'm building toward something.

When I was about about four or five, my sister Angela was in the three to four range, and my half-sister Candice was chillin' out around a year or so. My father had recently gotten married, his second wife, Vicki.  This happy household was living in southern Indiana, in Columbus to be exact. I was soon to start kindergarten at Fodrea Elementary.

In a moment, I am going to show you our family photo from this miraculous time period but first I want to know; are our children going to look back on the haircuts and fashions of the 2000's and shudder, crying out, "Why, oh why, dear mother, dear father, did you dress me like that?!"

Because what we wear now doesn't seem terribly wrong or embarrassing in retrospect. But when I look back at this, I wonder what they were thinking back in winter of good ol' 1981.

The even scarier thing is that we would get 'dressed up' for family pictures like these...so, you know, that means the everyday clothes just went downhill from there.

Ahhh. The good ole days.

And yes, our children, who look simply spectacular now, will look back and cringe. They will have to have *something* to talk about in counseling!! ;)

Actually, my pictures of my everyday clothes don't scare me as much. Jeans with flared bottoms and t-shirts :P

Perhaps that's why fashion today is more timeless, designers and pop culture finally got sick of cringing every time they looked back 10 years :)
