Thanks everyone for looking and commenting. Bob - I'd like to take credit for thinking about echoing the pose, but it was really a random event. I was shooting photos of the kids a few days ago. Then, when I wrote the football blog post, the recent group shot popped into my mind. GS George

My next door neighbor has two boys, one about 9-10 the other 5-6. There's a third kid lives up the block somewhere. I guess he's near in age to the older boy. From the amount of noise they make outside my window, I guess they're still able to have fun playing outdoors. Haven't heard 'em much

Agreed...it's good to look at pictures and remember your children as children. And good to see that your parents and grandparents were once young too. Hell! For me it's even nice to see photos from 50-60 years ago and remember that *I* was young once, too. -p On 9/3/2013 8:19 AM, George
