Day 188 - Family Portraits

RCA Dome in Indianapolis

We've taken a lot of family portraits over the years, but the ones I like best have a story behind them.  It's fun that someone who doesn't know us, could study this photo with clarinet, medals and HS band sweatshirts and figure out a story. But the picture doesn't really capture the giddiness and exhaustion of that moment, 12 years ago.  The kids' HS marching band had come in 5th place out about 100 bands in the BOA Nationals competition. You have to be a band kid or parent to get that.

Family Portraits: A family reunion portrait when all 15 of us wore hats from around the world...  Our family of 4, standing above Machu Picchu... Our younger, family of 4 leaving the hospital in 1989, with me in a wheelchair and newborn Scott in my arms and 2-year-old Heidi in a Cardinals teeshirt...
