The prospect of becoming a great grandfather has gotten my grandfather to break out some of the old photos that he has scanned into his computer. This one is four generations: my mother as a baby, her mom, her grandfather and great grandfather. I hope to take many pics with the kid and my grandparents so some day in the future, we can tell him/her all about how generous and kind and loving they were. (Still are!) Click for larger.

I wish my family had old pictures like this. I think my family history is in my mother’s attic. I must visit so I can steal my history back from her. 🙂
I think it’s really interesting to look at old pictures – especially to check out the settings like lawns, rooms,etc – because you can learn a lot about the past.
