The other day I stumbled across a shoe box of letters from my elementary school days along with an adorable letter holder that I got for my birthday years ago from my friend Lisa. (Remember, Lisa?) It was so much fun to read through the letters....from Lisa....Julia....Jean....Ann...even one from Ruth just after she moved to Holland! They brought back some wonderful memories. But I have to admit that I feel a little ashamed about how silly we were and yes, even quite catty. Regardless, what a treasure!
Here we must have been in first or second grade, posing for Miss VanWeerden, who thought our gapey smiles were charming enough for a photo...
Wishing you a great trip down memory lane. :)

Carmen, you are funny!!! I remember that letter holder. Quite the memories we have... yes, we were not always sweet and innocent! That picture is hilarious. I have one tucked away somewhere too. I love your blog. You're very good at taking pictures. Lisa :)
Very sweet! I am amazed at the quality penmanship in those letters!
SO which one is you? I'm sure once you say it I will know, but I don't see any features of your kids in this picture.

I'm hiding behind a big smile (or is it more like a growl? The teacher said to show all our toothlessness and I was the obedient sort...at that age anyway ;) I'm in the back row on the left. Cute, huh?
