Then...(thinking I was cool stuff with my cousin Kris)

and now...(Lillian thinking she is cool stuff with my cousin Kirs and her family, in the "princess carriage")

Then....(probably just about to get last place in a race during a high school track meet)

and now... (after getting 286th place (or something) after the 5K run)



Then...(2007)

and now.... (just as much love, not as much choke)

Then...(1987-Joel and me in our costumes my mom made)
