I think this is behind grandpa Edbergs garage but I am not sure as i have never seen this picture before.
John being just a little temperamental (understatement) in his jumper seat.
Poor Grandma was all worn out taking care of us. She was here to take care of me when Gary was born not john as i origanally dated it.

Welcome to the world John!
Father to be for the fourth time but he seems happy.
John reluctantly accepts his lunch. Look at that swinging foot!

This spot was not Gary's favorite place to be so I added some bubbles.
This was a get together of Evalds side of the family. Elsie his youngest sister, Harold his youngest brother, Janet, Hazel, Eva, Harolds wife, Kathy, Linda. Rennie, Wayne, Evald and Johnny Carlson.
Gary was two or three months old when this was captured.
It would be so nice if one could read someones mind as I wish i knew what John was thinking at this point.

Newborn John is unhappy about something. Food isn't getting to him fast enough. Note the article titled "Khrushchev's Pre Summit Spy Cry" on the coffee table. This is in reference to Francis Gary Powers U-2 flights over the USSR. The 5/16/60 Paris summit collapsed when Khrushchev demanded an apology from then US President Eisenhower. See this page for more details.
This was at bedtime but John had the beginnng of the chicken pox as the spots attest. I thought they were just spots from the film.
