“Mom? Can we go over to Amy and Abby’s house”, my sister and I would ask, at ages 5 and 6. “Yes, you may. But look both ways before crossing the street,” Bethie and I would rush on over, and knock on the front door that we could see from our own, and immediately go to...
Those are treasured memories! We all missed your family so much when you moved away. Thank you so much Keilah for capturing Abby’s beauty. It’s so amazing to see the beautiful young women that all four of you have become! ~ Cathie

P.S. I remember too. 🙂
Aw…Thank you SO MUCH, Amy! Those words mean a lot to me. Thank you!
The Little House books were absolutely some of my favorites growing up. I would read the whole series every Fall.

Excellent job, Keilah!! Those are some seriously good vintage photos.
What a fun party! I love the photos; they’re fantastic!
