The Best family, from Denise in New Zealand

Only 12 children are in the photo. Two more are born later! I would guess that this was taken in the very late 1920s or very early 1930s.

These photos are so great, Natalia! I love looking at them!

I hope you don't mind I added this blog to my blogroll. It's private, so you probably won't get much traffic from there, but it's easier for me to peek in here then. :) If you'd rather I didn't, let me know. If you want access to my blog, email me.

No problem, that'd be great! I think I have an old link to your blog but if you've changed things it probably won't work, so I would love the info to access it.

Four wonderful new pictures...

that arrived in the mail in the past week. I just love these. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! (Please? I paid really good money for them! LOL) Here's one that I got to qualify for the MegaFamily board. Just a nice size family! The above photo says "Dr. Cosner, Dec. 1920" I love the chubby-cheeked toddlers, and the little one looks so cheeky with that grin, perhaps not quite as dignified as her doctor father!
