An Adorable Child, with Bow


Šančiai (Kaunas), Lithuania, 1925. My Mom giggles as her favorite toys surround her. When my Mom was very little, she and her parents, Jadzė and Jake, lived in the officers' quarters of the Lithuanian Army. Her parents later built a house.

It's likely that my Mom's maternal Grandfather, the beloved Silvestras, carved the wooden horse for Mom.
