(click on the small image to see a big one)

June 1997
This is Melissa holding her new baby brother (about a month old at the time.) This picture also has the distinction of serving as the background on Pete's laptop for about a year...

June 1997
Another cute picture of Melissa holding her new baby brother (about a month old at the time.)

 

1997
Can you guess who this is sleeping on mommy's shoulder? (Hint: look at the date, and the next photo)

 

1995
OK, who's this? (It's Melissa) We didn't really think the kids looked that much alike, until we looked at this picture and the previous one. We can hardly tell them apart!

Christmas 1997
Ho, Ho, Ho, it's Stephen's first Christmas!

 

Christmas 1997
The classic perfect Christmas picture (not likely to ever be repeated -- believe me, we've tried).  I still can't believe neither of them are looking away, crying, hitting, trying to get down, picking his or her nose, or any of the other things kids do when adults try in vain to pose them for a picture. Oh, if things in our home were always so peaceful... We were so proud of this one, if you haven't seen it yet, it's just because we don't know you yet.

Summer 1997
Melissa checks out the wildlife at the Smithsonian Natural History museum...

 

October 1997
This is Melissa bungee-jumping at Cox Farms (well, almost.) Quite the little daredevil, no?
