My sister is visiting from overseas. They’re up with my mom now, but I got to meet my new nephew for the first time this weekend. He’s adorable! Sorting through some pictures, I found these, and thought they were appropriate. (I think the baby with the washtub is probably a different day than the others, but I think it’s the same baby.) The house looks rather large, at least in these photos, but do all these people live there? In any case, it’s a bunch of people enjoying hanging out with a baby, if only for a while.

This little baby is cute, but your nephew is definitely much cuter!!
I agree, but perhaps I’m biased. 🙂
I think the younger woman might be the mother of the baby, and the older woman her mother; they have similar noses. I was guessing the younger woman’s clothes are 1930’s, but the grandma’s outfits are so old-fashioned that I’m wondering if it’s really the 1920’s–that would put them closer to the era of down-to-the-floor skirts. I can’t say I know, but here’s a fun page of 1920’s children’s fashions I found while I was thinking about it: http://tinyurl.com/c5eszdp
You’re right, the grandma looks like she was probably a little old-fashioned even then. Thanks for the fun link.
I think the two older ladies are different people. One seems to have softer features. I wonder if this collection is actually showing three generations as the ones with the older women are taken on the same shooting. Sounds like a full house to me!
Enjoy your visit with your sister and her new baby, Uncle Matt!
I was also thinking that there were three different women here, perhaps mother, aunt and grandmother? Or a cousin? A visiting neighbor? The household help? Hard to say, but I think it may well be that they all live under one roof. Toss in those boys and you’ve got quite a bustling household.
And thanks for the good wishes! I actually met my sister’s husband for the first time, too, but there aren’t any men in these pictures, so I didn’t mention it. 🙂

Where do you find all these old photos?
Hey, thanks for following my blog! The bulk of my collection was bought about ten or twelve years ago, mostly only eBay. I’ve bought a few in antique stores over the years, and I’ve received some as gifts. Since starting this blog, I have to admit I’ve been tempted to start trolling eBay again, but my finances have kept me in check. At least for now. 🙂
