Jan 14 2006 Photo of the Day - Blast from the Past

I've been trying to clear out some of the boxes we've got stored down in our basement, and I've come to discover that quite a few of those boxes are full of pictures from the past. After spending a few hours strolling down memory lane while I looked through several boxes, I thought it would be fun to share those memories.

So... I've decided to put up a "Photo of the Day" here for all to enjoy, along with a little description of the details of the picture (the who, what, when, where, why...)

Since there are so many great pictures from days gone by, as well as new pictures that get taken each day, I'll put up a "Blast from the Past" Photo of the Day when I post a oldie but goldie picture. And if I post a recent picture, I'll just put it up as New Picture of the Day.

Feel free to join in the fun!

Posting pictures is easy on Blogger!

Okay...

For my first picture...
It's one of my favorites of Julia. It was taken on June 28, 2000.
Julia was 6 1/2 months old, crawling and always getting into everything.
I had put Ela down for a nap, and was trying to take a good picture of Julia crawling around. So, I was sitting on the floor, with my camera in my lap, watching her.

On this day, she crawled over to the bag I used when I took Ela to the pool.
Inside, she found Ela's purple swim goggles, sat back and tried to put them on.
After several unsuccessful tries (which I caught on film), I helped her out and put them on over her eyes. I quickly grabbed my camera to take a picture before she pulled the goggles off.

To my surprise, Julia didn't fuss or cry or try to take them off.
Instead, she looked up at me and smiled! This picture captured that smile...
And that picture stayed up on my fridge until she was three!




Hope this picture brought a smile to your face today!
Enjoy it! I've got more to come!
