Did you and your cousins have to share birthdays, or did you just have a buttload of parties one week each year.

Your mom is the prettiest of the bunch. And looks the happiest, too.

The lady on the right looks like she got caught doing something and is pissed about it.

No, it seemed like we were always out of town on vacation on my birthday. We rented lakes cabins in upstate Minnesota for a week in July every year.

So your parents could avoid buying birthday gifts for the cousins.

Good plan.

My guess is that she was the last to give birth, and was still recovering when the newspaper guy ran in and lined them all up for a photo.

Your mom's name is Darrel? :)

That convention always cracked me up. My grandma did the "local news" column for the town of Waubun, MN in the county seat's paper, The Mahnomen Pioneer, for many, many years. My folks still get gift subscriptions to the Pioneer, and only in the last 10 years or so have they started referring to married women by their own names in such social columns.

That's a great story. It must be fun to find that article and look back all the way to when you were a newborn. :ohyes: :thumbsup:

Is he that ugly or are the other two babies just that much better looking?

Six of one, half a dozen of the other I guess.
