Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Family Photo Trail — Baby Jo, AraBelle’s Shirt, and Peter Paul

Sue Hughes was trying to track down an old Christmas photo of Aunt Jo as a little girl, still with blonde curls, wearing a shirt that AraBelle had given her.

Sue still had the little size 2-T shirt and was getting a box of baby clothes ready for Anna. Her idea was to include a printed copy of Jo wearing it if we could find the photograph.

I sent Sue a link to the Google album containing all of the old family photos I had of Jo. The exact picture was not in that collection, but another image caught her attention:

“That one of Peter Paul looking disgusted in his Scottish outfit made my day.”

This correspondence preserves another breadcrumb for the family-photo archive: a baby photo of Jo in AraBelle’s shirt may exist elsewhere, possibly among Facebook photos, and the shared Google collection includes at least one childhood image of Peter Paul in a Scottish outfit.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
