How Times Have Changed

I haven't taken any pictures in a while and decided to go through old ones to see what I could post. I came across this one that my cousin sent me recently. It is of me holding her in a car when I was about 12 and she was just a toddler. Not only are neither of us buckled, but she isn't in a car seat. Remember the days when it wasn't a big deal to ride like this? In today's society, this would warrant a call to CPS!

Paul told me that once he and his 7 siblings were riding in their station wagon when the youngest (who was just a baby then) actually ROLLED out of the car while his dad was driving! Can you imagine? They turned the car around and picked him up unharmed, thanks to the tight bundling of clothing. I wonder what our kids will be critiquing when they get older and look back on how we parent today. Only time will tell...

  1. Sherry, you are so beautiful in this photo. I remember Vince rolling through the intersection like it was yesterday. Actually it was my first Communion day in 1962. (Or I guess it could have been '63, lol)
