The following photographs capture the essence of my fondest memories with three of the important women in my life – Jennifer, Lindsey, and Brooke.
I call this picture, “Two Big Sisters and a Baby.” This was a huge event – the new kid on the block had just arrived home from the hospital. (Can you identify each by name?)
We loved to go camping – in spite of the expressions in this picture. This is my little stair-step picture, oldest to youngest.
One of my favorite photographs ever. We took a picture like t this each Christmas. And the girls got prettier every year.
Leap ahead a few years. By this time we had added Vladimir to the mix. But the Santa hats are still there. (This is another one of our holiday traditions – the annual stealing of the Ray’s Christmas tree.)
Another perfect addition to our family, Marina (left) poses with Lindsey and Brooke. Jennifer and Vladimir weren’t on hand for this picture. (We considered “photo shopping” them in. But it wouldn’t have been the same.)
All in all, it’s quite a family. Thanks for taking this stroll down memory lane with the Stirlings.
