Perhaps a bit of a child, himself. The mother is lovely, as are the children. How wonderful to add a bit of her to Pip's name.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662348936086501719.post-30116119240575877642010-10-04T09:05:43.283+13:002010-10-04T09:05:43.283+13:00I love stories like this!

I couldn't work out what it was until I enlarged it and then I realised that all the faces look remarkably "modern" - I suppose as a result of the type of semi-pose that is still popular today.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662348936086501719.post-52123675147408644532010-10-03T12:59:16.410+13:002010-10-03T12:59:16.410+13:00What a refreshing photograph for the time period. ...What a refreshing photograph for the time period.

It is nice to pass names down the generations, my children have started that with my grandchildren.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621344084932510113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662348936086501719.post-91112512476265425982010-10-03T10:26:24.081+13:002010-10-03T10:26:24.081+13:00Nice photo, notice how they all seem to have ...Nice photo, notice how they all seem to have their hair parted in the middle, I wonder about the littlest guy!
