George and Della's Children

What beautiful children they had! Curt snapped a copy of these pictures from his mom and dad's collection.

Any of my cousins could identify their parent, and/or aunt and uncles, in an instant. The basic look remained the same into adulthood!

One mystery though... did they all get younger between 1988 and 1999?

In the first photo, that's Uncle Don steadied by Aunt Wilma, with Uncle Jim down front and my dad Jerry behind him.

In the second photo, taken on the farm in Spencer in 1988, the order is Jerry, Jim, Wilma, Warren, and Don.

In the last photo, taken 11 years later in 1999, they are in birth order: Wilma, Jerry, Jim and Don. Maybe it's the shorts that make them seem so young!
