It's a wonderful photo. Heartwarming.

Thanks!

Wow, what a lovely family photo! I just hope that your father's Uncle Pete returned safely from the war to mug for the camera in other playful photos like this. (And I sympathize with your rolling vs. rocking conundrum, too, of course--I never realized that there were so many horses on wheels after discovering that mine was that way!)

Thanks. Yes, Pete returned safe and sound and enjoyed a long life. He was very reserved and I don't remember him speaking very much at the few family gatherings I can recall. I didn't know he had gone to war before I discovered these photos and a few scrawled notes on the backs of a couple of the photos taken the same day.
