THE CONSPIRATORS...


How happy and contented Dad looks with his little babies, balancing one on each arm as they wiggle and giggle without a care in the world.

The Conspirators - June 1950
(Dad, Natalie & Patrick in the Park)

Aww...how cute these two little pixies look on their playdate in the park. Perched on top of Dad’s big, muscular shoulders. So sweet and innocent, or is Natalie providing final instructions to Patrick for some diabolical adventure?  


Whatever these two cuties are whispering and plotting, it is sure to promise loads of laughs…for them, and I’m sure… something that will require a great deal of explaining to Mom!


Hmm, I’ll bet Dad made a quick stop on the way home for some candy and flowers. Couldn’t hurt, right?!

    1. Actually, I think Mom is the one that took the picture, but Dad and my sister and brother appear to be fearless.

  6. Such a precious photo! And you're right, there does appear to be a bit of a childhood conspiracy going on up there on Dad's broad shoulders :-)
