This is Mom at UNH in 1942.

Here is Mom on 4th of July 1947 at Tahiti Beach, FL

That's Bob at 1 year old. Mom was 24.

This was also in Miami on the steps of our house in 1948

Here she is pregnant with Freddie so Bob was about 4 1/2.

This was taken at "The Tepfers" in Miami.

The back of the photo reads

Bobby - 4/12

Niels - 3 weeks

Mommy - 28 yrs

Taken in March 1951.

Did Mom name Freddy Niels? That was his middle name so I'm thinking maybe they started out calling him that to differeniate from my dad -- but I never knew!! Mom is about the same age in this shot as Kelly is now! What a smile!

A little later in time - 1955 probably in Walpole.

That's me in Mom's lap on the right.

On her right is Nana Magnuson and Bobby

behind her. Freddie and Grampa are blurred.

The back of this one reads: "Bobby took this picture of Mom."

Looks like Bob doesn't like this haircut much!

Looks like the yard at Aunt Helen's house in Bellingham.

This one makes me smile. The back reads: "More wash?"

I hope you have all enjoyed this walk down Memory Lane. There are LOTS of shots of Bobby being the first kid. But I love all these old photographs. Some are in pretty bad shape so I'm glad we have the technology today to digitize them and save them for posterity.  Lots of love in these pictures.
