The Spirit of the Stairwell

Quick one today, just ruminating how fast 15 years can fly by.

Check out the following pictures that illustrate these things about life, family and growing up:
1. Tiny little munchkin children can suddenly explode into lanky adulthood when you’re not looking.
2. My dress sense has got steadily better (I no longer wear t-shirts of Andrew Lloyd Webber shows).
3. Caroline’s dress sense had a major blip in it around the turn of the millennium (she is also pregnant in that last picture).
4. I have never smiled with my mouth open.
5. We don’t have a set way we cross our arms.
6. I’m definitely over the hill looks-wise.
7. My cousin Kathryn has a trademark smile.
8. Check out my little cousin, Jonathan, rocking out in those stripy circus shorts. That takes guts, man.

Here’s to 2015 where Jono’s a foot taller than me, Caroline has 5 kids hanging off her, Kathryn’s covered in tattoos and I’ve gone back to wearing Phantom of the Opera promotional stuff.
