There is something familiar about this pose....
Katie always has her chin up and her arms out.
It was too cute to see Emma do this at her DePaul graduation.
I mean it I have a hundred pictures of Katie with her chin in the air..and usually with jazz hands...
but in this one she is swirling her skirt.
As I was saying...
Believe me now?
haha
I could go on....
How does that song go?
My heart will go on.
My girls share my mom's happy spirit and excellent posing skills.
Genetics Rock!

Not only do genetics rock, but so does this post. And these photos. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this too! My sister and Cassie both have many of my mom's features and mannerisms. Good nails is one I definitely missed. :(
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute!!!
ReplyDelete"I have thin vanishing lips" SAME.
I can hear you say...."do something with your hands"....:)
ReplyDeleteWhen I first glanced at the picture of Esther I said to myself, "that's Katie". Just from the pictures and reading about the stories it seems as though your parents knew how to live life.
ReplyDeleteShe seems so young and vibrant. : )

P.S. My great-grandparents had a station wagon just like that. ; )
Of all the things to pass on to your children I can't think of anything better than a "happy spirit" and excellent "posing skills" consider your job as a mother well done lol!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ladies...all 3....your girls favor your mom''
ReplyDeleteIt makes my heart glad to see your mom and your girls!
ReplyDeletelove and prayers, jep
I love genetics. Fun how stuff shows up years later.I do smile to see that station wagon. We just got one in January of this year and I have loved cruising around in it, windows down, we take our dog along. Ours is an 85 I assume the one in the picture is quite a bit older? I don't comment often, but your blog is still one of my favorites. I loved that quote of Erma's for the 4th of July. -Jo
