Summer portrait - long time ago


 Ilana, her husband Matt and son Frankie will be here in a matter of days.  I remember Ilana sent me the first 'school' pictures of Frankie, whole bunch of them.  I put them in a real special place.  Which I don't remember.

But I found this one.  I think this was from 1987.  Ilana is the baby here; Naomi's not here until 1989.  Just for comparison, yesterday I put up the recent family picture from my niece Teresa's wedding this past September.  Ilana (who's the baby here) is the woman on the far left in yesterday's picture, she's 36 (or similar).  She's the director of the Business and Environmental Library at Indiana University.

Susanna's in pink here.  Hmm maybe this is from 1988.  There's just 19 months between Susanna and Ilana.  Maybe she's 3 here.  The hair, she's got lots of hair now.  But her hair didn't grow in until she was about 4.  People would says to me "It's so cute the way you cut her hair." or "Why do you cut her hair so short?"  The truth is, I had never cut her hair!  It just was like that!  She generally does (never did) wear girly things.  She's not in yesterday's picture.  She and Megan have a baby (Scout) and they decided to travel to Amsterdam instead of the wedding.  She was a college athlete (Univ of Oregon), an occupational therapist and runs a popsicle business with her wife Megan.

Danny is the grown up guy here.  I know I did cut off the top of his head.  He's in the wedding picture.  He's 40 years old, married works at Zillow (even still).

Naomi's not in the picture yet.  She will be come Dec 1989.  She's an elementary school teacher.
