Old Skool

by Penny on February 5, 2010

My paternal grandmother, Priscilla. If I have a girl I want this to be her middle name.

Mom and dad at prom. Aged approximately 16/18, respectively.

My dad used to play the guitar for me a lot. I remember Stairway to Heaven was a favorite.

Dad and I. I didn’t have a normal head of hair until I was 3.

Waiting for my dad to come home.

Easter eggs!

Feeding one of my twin cousins, I am going to guess Nicole. I was 7 when they were born.

Thanks dad.

You look like your grandmother! Well, from what I can tell from your blog anyway. Thanks for sharing, these are adorable pictures!

I love photos from the 70s and 80s- your Easter outfit is adorable!! and the fact that your father is holding bunny ears above your mother’s head inthe prom photo= awesome. I think you look like your mom in that one. I also got my book from you in the mail–thank you!

Aw. Is there anything cuter than baby bottom photos? My parents have a whole set of photos of my little sister lying naked on a slip and slide with a great big pacifier in her mouth and they are just adorable.

I also love all of your little girl dresses. So cute!

You look just like your grandmother! Your pictures do anyway… You are such a daddy’s girl, and I love that you didnt have hair for a while!

You’re the image of your grandmother!

I agree with everyone else, you look just like your grandmother! Great name, too. My youngest sister’s name is Priscilla Dare, and I’ll always be envious that my mother hadn’t thought of that name when she was pregnant with me.

What sweet photos! I love flipping through old albums to see me and my sisters as ragamuffin little kids. Your grandma was gorgeous and you were an adorable little kid – I cringe to think how many no-pants pics my parents have of me!

SO cute! I agree that you look like your grandmother. I also did not have a normal head of hair until after 3. My mom took to putting me in bonnets because she got annoyed with people thinking I was a boy.

Your dad is playing his guitar to a doll in that picture, right? There’s no way that’s an actual baby!!

Thank you for posting the picture of grandma. Until I came across this I sadly had no pictures of her.
