Cute & Happy

BEFORE JANUARY 27, 1994:

Allison, 8, and Eric, 3.

Cute and happy.

AFTER JANUARY 27, 1994

Allison, 8, and Eric, now 4.

See a difference? Yeah, neither do I. But it's there...

(But still cute and happy.)

AND NOW:

Allison, 20, Mumzie, and Eric, 16.
(Father's taking the picture. He says, "Hi.")

Still cute, still happy.

Just taller. And wiser.
