Hi Jen, (Great name by the way) I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your blog and read it regularly. To recognize that, I pass on to you the Ancestor Approved Award. If you aren’t already familiar, check my blog for the details.
This is a perfectly wonderful photograph! Despite the clothing, the girls have a very 2011 look about them, don’t you think? Is it the bangs or the shorter hair? I don’t know but they look like they could walk out of the photograph. Beautiful!
That may be what I like about this photo myself – they do have a modern look. (Of course, it may also be that Anna looks a lot like me at that age!)
