Family Photos

I LOVE to look at old family photos... anybodies family photos. A couple of nights ago my Aunt Sarah (Dad's sister) put up tons of old Milford family photos on FB. I have only ever a couple of pictures of my dad as a kid, so I had so much fun going through them I thought I would share. The thing that is most amazing to me is how much family resemblance I see between all the generations. Just to give you a little background so you will understand the pics better... my Dad was born and raised in Lake Charles, LA. His mom was named Pat (Nana Pat) and dad was named John Thomas Jr. (JT we call him Paw Paw or Paw Paw JT). There were five kids in his family... Martha, Tommy (my dad), Bobby, Sarah, and James. I just have to add that I can not even imagine having one kid... let alone five kids before disposable diapers, dishwashers, central air, epidurals and mini-vans! My how things have changed!

Nana Pat, Martha, and baby Tommy... he was a baldy!
