More Kids

I mentioned in the story about the trip to California in 1957 that Mom was pregnant during this trip. It came to pass that Mom, Aunt Helen and Mrs. Patrick a neighbor were all pregnant at the same time. So on 26 January, 1958, Janice Lee Golden joined the family. She was joined by Patricia Thomas and a third little girl playmate all about the same age.

Patricia and Janice, lifelong friends and double trouble.

Stepping back a bit, in 1951 Aunt Helen and Uncle Gordon had Wayne Evan Thomas. He was a year older than Terry.

Then Stephen Thomas joined us in 1954ish.

Dad, Janice, Terry and me in 1959. Note the patches of dirt over Terry’s shoulder - a result of lots of work moving sand by yours truly.

Mom on that same Easter Sunday. No self timer on the camera so two images to get all five of us.
