When my daughter was i treatment, her immune system was suppressed and she did contract whooping cough. Thankfully she was big enough and her lungs developed so she did not have too tough of a time. It is really terrible for young children.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295499795085860012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-74419675810416293922013-09-28T14:23:54.954-04:002013-09-28T14:23:54.954-04:00Good detective work finding that Bob is a girl!

My husband's mother put girls' bonnets on him to protect him from the sun & took photos of him that way. When I began going through all the old photographs I had a hard time telling him apart from early pictures of his sisters!

Still today by her hubby, so you just never know. It sure does show how everything folks caught back then spread so quickly back in the day, by taking them out like that, doesn't it. They are adorable little ones, and I'm curious about who they all were too! I know one day you'll have all the pieces of their lives unfold right here.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-68851223749238593042013-09-27T08:24:36.157-04:002013-09-27T08:24:36.157-04:00Nice detective work Wendy.
