I like this picture.
It's old and we look funny, but of course we thought we looked pretty good.
That's how it usually goes with old pictures.
I'm sandwiched between the boy and the little blonde, for those who didn't know me back then... which is pretty much all of you. Except of course if you belong to the Coates family. Then you know who's who.
Obviously.
When I look at this picture, I have to wonder to myself…
Did my mother just waltz all her girls to the hairdresser and simply say,
"I'm gonna want them all to look like little toadstools… so make it happen will ya?"
Anyway… It is physically impossible for me not to look at this picture and smile.
My parents look so young and awesome ;)
In other non-related nonsense:
Do you know why I began this blog? Because we moved trillions of miles away from our family, and we wanted a great way to share our lives with the people we so cruelly left behind.
Then over the years, I realized another great benefit to the blog. My kids LOVE to plunk themselves down every so often and scroll through the posts I've made over the years. It's like a little life journal for them.
I like doing this blog for those reasons. Of course I have no problem with other family and friends checking out our random life… if I did, I would have denied public access forever ago.
BUT! Linking my blog posts to facebook has made me feel some sort of pressure to entertain the masses. It's all in my head I KNOW (like so many things are), but I have noticed that I'm not keeping things up to date like I should because of it…
So even though I won't be sharing the posts through facebook anymore, you are still more than welcome to visit our blog if you choose… or choose not to. Either way, I'll never know. You'll just have to do it the old fashioned way of typing our address in:
