Wayback When-sday

This picture of me (left) and Stephen is from February 1970. We have our footy pajamas on and we are sitting in the rocking chair holding our favorite stuffed "action figures." My "action figures" are a maniacal mouse and a ferocious dog. Stephen's "action figures" are a killer clown and a badass bunny rabbit. As the smiles on our faces show, we loved our poly-fill stuffed "action figures." On the back of the picture, Mama wrote a note saying she took this photo with her to the hospital when she gave birth to Russell so she could show all the nurses what "macho, manly handsome boys she had." OK. She wrote "pretty boys," I just interpreted it for her.

You look like the happiest kids ever. It doesn't get any cuter than that.

Just wanted to add a bit to your story. That picture won a prize for my Mama, your Mammy. They had a photo contest at the place she worked and she had named it "Brotherly Love" and she won first place. I just lied...sorry about that. The picture that won was taken at the same time of this one but the one that won was one of the two of you staring at each other in the eyes and puckering like you were going to kiss. So I guess that is the reason for it's name. You might have that picture with you too. ILY
