Multi-generational Birthday Photo

LeMaster family, Evansville, Indiana, 5 Nov 2022


A week ago, I was able to spend my birthday in a manner that I don't believe has ever happened - with not only my daughter and grandchildren, but with my parents as well.  As we gathered for a breakfast in Evansville, I was able to convince the waitress to capture the moment and create a memory - a four-generation photo.

Likely it has been twenty years since my daughter and I have been together on my birthday.  The fact that we were able to meet on the actual day and have all of us together makes the family historian in me smile.  Bonus for me was to see my daughter on her birthday weekend, as her birthday is two days after mine.  I enjoy a lot of mileage out of the corny 'dad joke' that she has been my favorite present.

We were able to spend some time together, enjoy a meal, spend some time shopping and hearing all about school with the grandkids before returning home.

I've always been intrigued by multi-generation photos and now I have a pretty good one to capture a moment in time when we were all together.
