In a couple weeks our little booger will be a year old! It’s gone by both fast and slow at the same time. When he’s officially a year old I’ll post some “official” father comments, but for now, just pictures. The good ones are by Andrew.

Holding our BottleWe love holding our own bottle. We’re slowly transitioning to more solid stuff, but I don’t think he’s in any hurry. We’ve got two teeth on the top and bottom in the front, and a molar in the back is popping through. I think he might get a whole mouth full at once!

img_1085Today we went to the cemetery with my parents. These are some of my Great Grandparents, so they would be Luke’s Great Great Grandparents. They’ve been buried there my whole life, not even five miles away, and I’d never seen their gravestone. I’ve got some photos of them, and I think it would be really cool to put together some kind of family history book with pictures, birth certificates, gravestones, etc. I have six ancestors buried at another local cemetery, which I think is so cool. Even though I really only knew three of them, between looking at pictures and hearing about them, it’s just a lot of fun to know my “history.”

My picture scanning continues. I’m nearing the end of the black and white photos (over 500 of them). They’re really poorly organized, so I’ll find a negative from the same "event" in several different places. Organizing and identifying people in the photos is another task completely.

This is one of my favorite pictures so far because it shows 4 generations of ancestors. This has (in order of old looking) my dad, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great grandparents. If you’re keeping track, Daniel Amariah is the one that worked at the gravestone shop in Iowa. This photo here is local.


Left to Right: Reggie, Craig (baby), Enid, Daniel Amariah, Oma, Lester, and Minnie.

Update: I had it in my head that my Aunt Janice was older than my dad (not sure why). I stand corrected, the baby in this picture is in fact my father, which makes the picture that much better. This ups the ancestor count to four! Thanks dad.
