It was lovely meeting new bloggers yesterday and looking at wonderful photos and hearing from several that this challenge makes them want to take better pictures. Me, too! (Next month's party is May 16th.)
Yesterday, John's sister blessed him with a little photo of his former self. Gosh, he's so cute I want to kiss him!
When you see photos like this do you wonder whatever became of the little guy? What did he grow up to become? Wonder no more...
Then and Now
Not many little boys grow up to be reindeer! (You just know that I'll be sharing this with Sam!)
(Many thanks to Picnik for all the fun I've been having lately. It'll be missed.)
What a great picture! I have several of my hubby. So nice to have those and I love how you put it with his reindeer picture! Enjoy your special breakfast with both Sam and John!
ReplyDeleteGrandsons named Sam are simply the best, aren't they?? Of course the rest of them are pretty wonderful as well :)
ReplyDeleteI do have a childhood (actually toddler) picture of my Rob, and he is a cutie...just like now.
I will try to get in on the next card party, a wonderful idea!
Have a great day,
Niki
I got a good LOL out of not many little boys grow up to be a reindeer. haha :D
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I don't think little boys ever truly grow up. They actually become a little sillier as time goes by. Pictures form Audley's childhood are precious treasures to me. I know you are loving your Nonni time. =) Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! Yes, I have a few too. Breakfast sounds great! Enjoy your day...
ReplyDeleteCute pic- I have one of my dad with those suspenders holding up short pants- he must have been all of 5. I treasure it and I am sure you treasure this one. I've got a fun day with grand kiddos planned too- my oldest is getting inducted into Beta club and we are going to take her and her siblings to town after school Your note card party is causing me to think more about my photography and to try to take better photos- thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast sounds wonderful...John was a cutey as a child and still is.
ReplyDeleteCute post.

I really enjoyed the party yesterday Vee, I too met some wonderful ladies. John is so cute, then and now! I indeed have some old photos of Mr. P and what a cutie he was too. Enjoy this special day, making memories that Sam will take with him as he embarks on this adventure known as life. Praying for Sam as he continues to heals.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sue
What a cute photo of a cute guy.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have some great photos of the Farmer when he was a kid. Most of them involve him giving sly looks, like he's up to something. I'm SURE he was. HA.
I'm with "Auntie". The Blogger platform, or whatever they're calling it is AWFUL. Horrid, terrible and a hot mess.
What a cute pic! I love how he has the same haircut!! I do have a couple of pics of my hubby - as a cutie pie toddler. I love old photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Mmmmmmm....breakfast sounds yummy!
I love what you did with the childhood picture and the "now" one. I need to do that with one of my DH's. John must have been very pleased.
ReplyDeleteHope to hear (read) more - and see pictures - about this morning's breakfast with two of your favorite guys.
Love this post! I will try to join in on the next party!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, Vee! I love the before and after of John. I'm still working on getting my act together to join the party. Hopefully in May! Blessings...now I'm going to whip up some breakfast!
ReplyDeleteYes I do....I have several but in our bedroom I have two antique frames, one with a childhood pic of me and one of him. But my favorite of him is when he was about 4 or 5 and a pony came to the neighborhood and they took pics...it is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a pic of my honey with reindeer ears though!
Vee,
ReplyDeleteYes, I do. And since I didn't know him until he was in his late 40's, it makes it harder to see the little boy in the man. (Aside from behavior-wise sometimes!)
The party yesterday was great fun! Thinking ahead to next month! It's also great that it is monthly rather than weekly..have a lovely day!
Many pictures here as I seem to be the family historian and keeper of the archives. A few of my hubby toos .. A very cute one of him on his trike. I'm sure your grandsons chill enjoy the reindeer pic! Enjoy this day !
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteHis eyes are exactly the same - very handsome fella indeed.
I'll have to look some out...I'm pretty sure I do..... Joan
ReplyDeleteHe was a cute little guy and a cute reindeer too. Breakfast with Sam sounds like a great way to start the day. Hope he is moving right along with his healing process.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your 2nd note card party. So much fun to meet new people and enjoy the beautiful photography as well.
I do have a few little boy pictures of my beloved and treasure them. I had one of myself on the blog for a few hours today, but had a change of heart and it has now been deleted.
I just know you're having a great day with Sam! How fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd how fun to see a photo of John as a boy. He grew up well, didn't he?
I do have a photo of Tim as a boy, many in fact. He was an adorable blond!
Deanna
Love the pictures of John. It's nice to know we don't really every grow up.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few pictures of Ken. I'll have to go through them and post one of them some day.
I'd like one of those chocolate chip pancakes myself. : )
What an adorable photo of your husband as a child!
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling...at your photo fun! And yes...I do have an adorable childhood photo of my beloved as well. Mine never grew up to be a reindeer...though he has been many other things.
ReplyDeleteIs your Nonni day over by now? Did he have the chcoalte chip pancakes? I have had Grammy day since yesterday morning...and it just came to an end. I'm thinking a nap might be in order!
PS We don't really spell chocolate like that in Canada! It just published before I noticed.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee!
ReplyDeleteI love the old . . . and new photo! I just love old photos in general, today's cameras are wonderful, but there's just somethings about old cameras and photos!
Sounds like you had a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Barb
Nonni days like yours sound like a lot of fun. It's a Nana day here and the Little Miss is napping while rain falls outside.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of John now and then. Who knew he'd grow up to be a reindeer?
I do have a couple of photos of my own beloved as a child. I'll have to hunt them up. I've been thinking about putting more family history on the blog.
Your card party was a resounding success, Vee. Thank you so much for hosting. I still have to make my rounds to the more recent half of the links.
Too cute! I can just imagine the delightful breakfast you three had. I can't wait for May and a chance for two weeks worth of Nana days.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of pictures of The Great Dane as a child because he was an 'only' and the for a long time the only grandchild too. He was a cutie!
Oh, I hope your day was "grand" from start to finish. Sounds like a delightful start!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting the Note Card party yesterday. Again, it was lots of fun. And I'm already thinking ahead to May...
John's pictures of then and now are so sweet! You did a great job of putting them together in Picnick. Alas, Picnick. :-(
I do have some boyhood pictures of my beloved. In fact, there is a baby picture of Ron hanging on our bedroom wall. He was so cute! (I shared some of these photos on his birthday a few couple of years ago. They're here if you're curious...http://thinking-about-home.blogspot.com/2010/08/grow-old-along-with-me.html.)
he pictures of your hubby you shared were great! My hubby looks exactly like he did as a little boy but of course much older. Your nonnie day sounds great! e haven't done that in a while with our grands and now I have been inspired. I hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI have a frame with a picture of my beloved as a young boy and beside it me as a young girl...they are precious...what you did is great...they always have a heart of a young boy
ReplyDeleteI just love what we can do online. Great photo's!!
ReplyDeleteI almost missed this post and seeing these cute photos of John!
ReplyDeleteI only have one photo of my hubby wheh he was growing up in Italy. His family was too poor to have a camera or pay for photos, so his passport photo is it. When they came to the US his relatives here took some photod of them on special occasions and then they eventually did get a camera. I wish I knew what he looked like as a baby!
What a cutie pie is was and is. Love, sandie
ReplyDeleteTry PicMonkey as a substitute, I too am going to miss Picnik! I do however really appreciate the fact that they refunded my fees!!! That was unexpected!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a mission to take more pictures so maybe i'll have something to submit next month.
bwaaaaaa....I am in the middle of
ReplyDeletePICNIK WITHDRAWAL......
Such a cute side-by-side photo of your beloved. Thankful he's such a good sport. Have you found a suitable replacement for Picnik? If so, please share!
