Grandma and Grandpa created a huge family. Many of us grew up together, meeting at that tiny house every Sunday morning after Sunday school.

We are all different, but we come from the same roots.

I had forgotten this picture and newspaper story! Wow! But cloth diapers were usually covered by plastic pants to keep us from getting wet. Diaper pictures were very popular for many years clear back to the 1900's and baby contests were as well. They even had the "best baby" contests up until the 1930's where they looked over the babies just like they looked over livestock. Judging them for weight, hair, height, purity of color and so on. The contests were stopped completely when the happenings in the Nazi prison camps became known. Jay was sure a chubby baby and he liked to giggle alot. He was just happy most all the time.
