I cannot believe that I don't have a picture to share.  I received a picture of their wedding back from Theda but I gave it to Judy before scanning.  Judy, send me one and I'll add to the post!

Happy Birthday to my sister, Judy

My sister, Judy, is celebrating a BIG birthday today, but I won't tell you which one.  Happy Birthday to my best friend!

I only have this picture of us in my collection.  As is the case with most second children, there aren't as many pictures of her.  It  use  to make her crazy when she was little, so my parents would fib and tell her that other kids in pictures was her.

Documenting other "Family" members

Pets occupy an important role in our lives. In most cases, we don't know about our ancestors and the role pets may have played in their lives.  Of course, pets didn't occupy the role they do now and probably weren't as important to them.
I have this picture of Tom and Lizzie's dog, Toni

Here are Judy and I with our dog Spook in Winchester,VA

Make sure you document pets as part of your family's history!
