Don’t know who these folks are or where this was taken, but it looks to be the 1930s, according to the dresses and hairstyles. I like the ribbons in the girls’ hair, and the restless boys who can’t sit still.
I especially fancy this dress!
But I do wonder why this fella was left holding the baby.




That baby looks more like a doll. Which makes me wonder all the more . . .

Well, yes. That’s the odd part.

Oh that guy with the doll is just Cousin Elmer. He likes to sleep in the attic. He’s real quiet.

I’m thinking its newer than 1930s. I’m saying late 40s to early 50s.

We once had a group photo taken like this one, but it was only some time later that we realised two of our ‘restless boys’ weren’t even on it .. they’d gone to play. We had to take it all over again.

LOL at the nature of little boys!

It’s so funny, but all my old pictures of family in the 30s and 40s are outside on the lawn. They look like these too!

Were they smiling in your pictures?

Not many. Come to think of it, I used to wonder why so many of them looked unhappy.
