This is my Uncle Steve. The story behind this slightly crooked photo is that it was taken by my mom, his younger sister, who was due to have a baby soon - the first of the 3 siblings to have a child.
He had been away and while he was gone, my mom had me (unexpectedly - a few weeks early) and no one told him. When he got home, he went to visit with his sister, she was in her bedroom supposedly resting. On his way to the bedside, he walked past the bassinet and this is the look on his face when he realized there was a baby in it! That baby was me, and my mom managed to snap this wonderful picture from the bed.
Surprises like that aren't easy to pull off any more - we're so intimately connected with everyone. It's a lovely picture that I'm so grateful to have!
How funny, and what a great photo. He looks truly delighted! Jo
