28.
I am visiting my family on Lake Pend o’Reille in Idaho. I am about to enter the Literature program at UCSC and am reading my first homework, “The Sorrows Of Young Werther.” Quite possibly the most depressing book I’ve ever read.

In 5th grade I bring this photo to school for a project. My teacher gushes, “look at that chubby baby.” I am mortified.

I am a nanny in Menlo Park, CA for a high-powered lawyer and I live in an incredible house. I am finishing up a roll of film and decide to take a self portrait with the last shot on the roll.

Die Leiden des jungen Werther! I read that in independent-study German in college. Can’t remember a lick about it.

I remember throwing the book across the room and wanting those hours that I read the book back! 🙂

Although I love your nanny self-portrait best, I giggle at the girl digging clams as I’ve been yearning for a beach lately. Love your post and the photos.

I love these photos! I remember 28. I was there, it was right after I had Elizabeth. That was a very fun day. I love 1, adorable! Your teacher was full of crap by the way. I also remember that day in 7, another great memory.

Thank you Kelly! I was gong to mention in 28 that I met Elizabeth for the first time. That was a very memorable vacation! I very vaguely remember the day in 7 but I might be mixing it up with a day in Long Beach…

Was it cannon beach? I thought it was long beach. No wonder I can never find the motel when we go there. Love that picture. I think you get you photo talent from me. Just kidding. Love you so much.

Nice series of images. My suggestion is to look at some of Terry Pratchett’s books – I have yet to throw one across the room in frustration (plus, doing that would break my Kindle).

I need to read more Terry Prachett! I’ve read one of his and I really loved it!
