auntie kelly gets older every day

Another photo comparison. This time, eldest niece, Caitlin, who just last week attended her junior prom. "Doesn't it go by in a blink."

Interestingly, the young picture of Caitlin here was taken at the same time as the one of Andrew from my previous prom picture before-and-after.

By the way, in both instances, I have long hence ceased use of the nicknames assigned to the captions. I may be a sentimental old fool, but I'm not cruel.
