Grandma Vala Birthday Help

Stacy, Hayden and Morgan helped Great-Grandma blow out her candles. Her birthday was yesterday. I think she was 91 in this photo.
 

Keeping Them Lit

Looks like Dad is attempting to keep the candles lit on his birthday cake. Mom and I are enjoying the craziness.
 

New Mother Now

Stacy, Hayden and I were admiring Frances as a newborn. Yesterday she became a mom.
 

Dad and His Books

His grandchildren – Hayden, Alex and Stacy – helped Dad unwrap the books he requested each Christmas. All non-fiction, of course.

 

Political Activists

We were at the then Alameda Hotel decorating for an appearance by presidential candidate Bob Dole in 1988. I thought it was a great way for the girls to learn about politics. As I recall it involved a multitude of balloons.

Sesame Street Live

We appear to be having a pre-show snack. We were in the Little Theater at Municipal Auditorium. As I recall, Morgan was not enamored by the larger than life characters when they appeared at the special reception before the show.

Princess of Power and Elphaba

Hayden was She-Ra, Princess of Power, and Stacy was a witch, but not Elphaba because that wasn't a character in 1988.

Always On Fire

In celebration of Stacy's wedding, a throwback to 1988 when she was jiving to her new Walkman.
