Holy crap...It's the...
Bauers Through the Years!
We are big on pictures in my family...This is
just a sampling of the
many fine pieces of work we call family portraits. Enjoy!
Mom, Dad, and Me...1977
Ahh, the family is growing...1981
Our first full family portrait, 1982.
And hey, they didn't get much more organized than this, as you will see below.
Another from '82.
Dude, what happened to our hair in 1984?
Me and Gail apparently got into a fight with a lawnmower somewhere along the
way.
Ahh, same year, different result (1984)
This is our "Daddy's Gone" picture
(he was on a business trip when they were doing portraits for the church guide)
Ahh, the mid-80's were not the best times in Bauer Family Portraiture (1985).
Figures, the one pic where I stuck my tongue out became our
family Christmas photo (1985)!
Every other one, it was the other two...
Holy crap, this may be our best ever. Check out my
bowtie,
Gail's excitement, and Greg giving everyone the finger (1985).
Needless to say, this was the last time we tried to do the picture in a
stairwell.
Ahh, we've finally grown up. Our first picture in
Bethlehem, 1988.
Now included are Gretel and Prince (on my shoulder).
This photo proves the age-old theorem that Joy has no fashion sense...or maybe I
was just ahead of my time!
This is a classic proof from the Sears session in
1989.
I like to call this one "Bauers: Cold as Ice"
Ah, every family needs a cheesy matching sweatshirt photo,
1990
Dad just added to my teenage mortification by insisting on including the
inflatable deer to the left.
Well I guess we missed a few years there...1994
Us looking for a Christmas tree, always an eventful time in the Bauer household.
Good lord, can we be any more Christmas-ey? (1995)
On a side note, Gail and I did not plan to match that day.
Another church photo, 1997
And the most recent addition, 2000
