The Wonder Years

Someone this summer told me that he envied my childhood. I think he referred to it as my innocent, clean, regular childhood. I have to admit, I have nothing to complain about. I have great memories of growing up across Canada, camping, swimming, bike riding, skiing, etc. It's all so wholesome, kind of like a Hallmark movie. Yikes. Anyhow, part of my routine when visiting my parents has always included going through old photo albums and reminiscing. I was delighted to find on arriving here that many of my childhood photos are now digitized, so lucky you, I thought I'd share some of my "innocent, vanilla, etc" upbringing. Don't I look pumped?

Ok, so this photo does make my early years look fairytale-esque and innocent. I was a flower girl for my cousin's wedding and my sister Sarah was the bride's attendant, whatever that means. I remember having to smile for photos, eating cake, and dancing. My Mom still has that dress somewhere. Couldn't quite alter it to turn into my wedding dress. Oh well, maybe next marriage...
