These photos always crack me up. I believe my parents had them taken for my passport.
A couple were enlarged to 8x10s. This one, I assume, because they liked it best.
And this one because who doesn’t want a photo of your baby sticking out her tongue?
You may remember that when the German rights to A Coventry Christmas sold, I talked about Lennie, the woman who took care of me when I was an infant. In going through my mother’s photos, I found this one. I scanned it for my sister, and she confirmed: This is Lennie. I think she is beautiful.
I remember you talking about Lennie before. i like to think she read your book.
Wouldn’t that be great?
Awww… so sweet! You had more hair than I did.
I think I had even more when I was a newborn. My mother always said it was shocking because I looked very different from my sister and brother when I was born.
Awww, that’s pretty funny! I love the tongue.
My mother has one of me in the bathtub with a turd. Thanks Mom!
Ha! I think they take those photos fully determined to make use of them to embarrass us when we’re older. It’s their payback for sleepless nights.
