Growing up Part One

In the last blog I showed some photos of the grandchildren growing up. For this blog I thought to show the childhood photos of my two children. The photographs were generally not of good quality. I liked to blame it on the films and the bulky cameras (not fully automatic) but in reality the photographic skills of yours truly probably left much to be desired as well.
The other limitation was that I didn't seem to have the printed photos (when digital was still foreign) beyond 1997. Even when we acquired a digital in 2002, the copies seemed to be misplaced. It was not until the 2011 decade when phone cameras became common that I started having my photo collection again.
That was the reason the photos stopped at 1997. We shall see if those missing photos will surface in the future.  Since there were quite a number of photos even to 1997, I shall post in 2 parts
