Lots of people will tell you their mom was beautiful.

I have photographic proof.



Here's a picture of yours truly, my mom Kara and my sister Karlacita! when she is just home from the hospital.



I look a little grumpy. I really loved that rocking chair and I probably wanted to sit in it.



Karlacita! had this picture as a Polaroid and it had a lot of imperfections in it over the decades. She sent it to my friend Alan to do some restoration work and it looks wonderful.



Thanks to everybody who made it possible for me to share this with y'all, which would include the Gosh Darned Pater Familias who took the picture in the first place. It does bring back some great memories.
