Generations 1

     One thing that I really enjoy when going through photos, old and new, are those of generations of family all together.  When a baby is born that begins a new generation, the cameras come out and the flashes go off to document this event.  Why not continue with this as the child, the parent and the grand parent age?  I have no answer, only the question.

     Here are a couple of the generation pics that I have found to share from the Finchum - Baker family.

 Above photo - Bruce Finchum, Ralph Finchum (Bruce's father), Marti (Martha Frances Finchum) and Henry Baker (Bruce's Grandfather).
This is pretty special for the obvious; we have 3 generations here.  But there is another reason also.  Bruce's mom, also Martha Frances Finchum, had passed away before this time.  So we have the mixture of the Finchum-Baker with the generations to make it 4 layers.  This is the first time that Henry Baker got to meet the name sake of his daughter.

 
 Again we have that new baby and the generation picture.
Love it !  
Marti, baby from the first pictures in this post, is the one on the back left, along with her Grandpa Ralph Finchum, Bruce Finchum sitting and holding Tiffany, his grand daughter; and of course the great grand daughter of Ralph.  So wish Henry would have been around for another shot here.

 Here's another of Bruce's kids - on the left is Sarah Finchum with her daughter, Casey, in the middle and myself, Donna Finchum, the married into the Finchum-Baker family.  Again, three generations.

     My son Ryan Finchum, and the son of Bruce Finchum, is married to Tricia.  She has a great family still living and since I do consider myself a Finchum of sorts, it is only fair that I do the same with her.  Plus, she has great pics of generations to share.
This is Tricia's family which includes her mom, mom's husband, aunts, uncle, brother, aunt's kids, and her grand parents holding the kids.  See - great pic and with 3 Finchums and 1 married in Finchum it is a good one to share.


And - just once more with Tricia  -  here she is with her mom, grand mother and her great grandfather.   Not all that often this can be shared.  Even neater is that Tricia's great grandfather got to see even another generation in her children.  Maybe I can get more pics from these generations to share later.
