Yet another old family picture thread
What the hell. I rarely start picture posts anymore, but I came across these while browsing my graphics folder.

These are pics of my maternal grandfather, and a sibling I believe to be my now deceased older brother Charlie.





Feel free to join in and post your own pics!

taken at my cousin's wedding in 1989. She gave birth to 16 children. Sadly my grandmother was in the early stages of Alzheimers then. She died the week before Christmas in 1995.

Your son was a very cute little guy. I guess he's pretty big now.
