preparing to celebrate 50

Bud and Betty have been married nearly 50 years. Next Saturday, we will be celebrating their marriage with close family including potentially Betty's 3 siblings--Rodger, MaryAnn and Bruce. Yesterday, I spent time in Betty's very well organized photo archives taking photos of them as kids, one of them dating, wedding day and then photos of their family as it grew. Here are a few gems:

the little boy with Betty isn't Bud, but it's one of her cousins--boy on left is Bud

 Dating and wedding day

From one child to two children in 21 months

and now there are three 18 months later

some fun family trips

and some more reluctant to participate in a photo op

Thank you for letting me take a journey through the years and I didn't quite get through all the photos, but made a good start to the photo documentation of a family over 50 years.
