Just Playing Around.......
I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I just figured out how to use my scanner today! My wonderful husband helped me load the software onto our computer and I was able to scan some old pictures. So, in the following pictures, you will see Helen wearing an old dress that my mom made for me! (38+ years ago!) Then, you will see pictures of Helen playing with the Noah's Ark that my grandfather made for me with the animals that my grandmother made to go along with it! (Yes, my mom saves EVERYTHING and I'm grateful for these treasures!) So, we had a little photo session the other afternoon and I was trying to re-create some pictures that mom had of me wearing this dress and playing with Noah's Ark. The neat thing is that now, with my scanner, you can see the pictures of me as well! I was 2 and a half years old when the pictures were made of me, and Helen is 3 and a half, but I don't think the dress would have fit her a year ago! Obviously, I was a bigger child! Anyway, hope you enjoy!
First, Helen!
Then, me!
Helen again!
And me again! You can see Mickey's (my grandmother who made the stuffed animals for the ark) reflection in the glass!
One more! Pulling the ark!
Last one!
Sean says that the one noticeable difference that cannot be re-created is the mullet!

That is SO neat...I loved this post! Even the background is similar. I bet your mom will love it. Thanks for sharing...and maybe a cute bobbed haircut looks a little better with the dress. :)
How sweet!
Andi-I love these pictures of Helen. What sweet treasures to have these photos and to be able to recreate them. Andy and I were cracking up at Sean's comment about the mullet...too funny!
Thank you for your message Sunday, sorry I haven't had a chance to call back but thank you for your prayers! Talk to you soon!
I'm SO PROUD!!!
Does Sean understand the reason for the mullet???
