Our Family Through the Years

These aren't all the family grouping pictures I have of "us four", but there are a few here, and I've placed them in order from earliest to latest.

Uncle Buck took this during one of his and Aunt Rachel's visits to Virginia Beach, Virginia while we were living there. Matt is just a few months old.....possibly four or five months.

This was taken at Mom and Dad's in 1986 soon after we had moved home from Virginia Beach, Virginia. We were living in Pa Land's house. Matthew is around one....

OMG what was I thinking with this hair.....ICK! I did love that suit, though. Matt is probably five or six.

Mother took this in her Fayetteville apartment. Matt is probably in the fourth grade here and Rachel is one or almost.

This is one of my favorite family pictures we have. It was taken on the balcony of a condo we rented one summer in Panama City Beach, Florida. Nanny and Papa Cooper were with us. Matt has on his DARE t-shirt so, I'm thinking this was during the summer following his 5th grade year. Rachel has on her cute little outfit that had Barney on it. My hair was the longest at that time that it had gotten since I was in the third grade. What in the heck was I thinking?????

I'm not sure about the year. Matt was still in high school....Rachel was holding onto a doll and I was wearing my school sweatshirt.... Mom took this at her apartment.

This was taken by Rachel's friend Katie. We were on the ferry crossing Mobile Bay from Gulfshores over to Dauphin Island. We took a road trip over to Biloxi, Mississippi during Spring Break after Hurricane Katrina.
