1984

1984

 Tim with more stitches!  Had them in his finger when he was about 2.  Now he fell in the circle in front of our house when the fire hydrant was open and a kid on a bike ran into him.  Poor guy.  We got a lot of use out of the emergency room up the street from us with Tim.  If it wasn't stitches, it was dislocated elbows or a rash, or high fever, or .... .

 I don't remember where this was taken, but figured I'd include it since I like to avoid cameras.

 Angie and her dollie at Little Creek in Florissant.  Tim was on a field trip here and we just came by to "help".

 Even an automatic lens doesn't always focus!  But I liked the picture of Tim

 Taken at the same time as the one above.

  Oregon 

Don't think we took a train trip this time, but we enjoyed seeing the Amtrak there in Salem.  We did end up taking it to Seattle a couple time in later years.

Obviously this was near xmas.  Since the kids weren't in school yet, they got to go with me while Ken stayed home and worked.

 Must be near Christmas.  Ken and I dressed up to go somewhere.

 Always loved this photo
