Alec (Yellow Turtle baby model!) in le•top, circa 1993, with his tricycle and...is he holding a bug?
J. at Yellow Turtle found a “vintage” photo of her son in le•top and sent it over for fun. I loved the old tricycle and the whole composition of this photo; the un-mowed grass, the dandelions, the lone tennis shoe and little Alec looking like the quintessential, all-American portrait of little boy having a great summer! Of course, I wanted to share with everyone on the blog, so I asked J. for a more recent photo of her son, Alec (now 18), and she sent over a few. I noted to her that there seemed to be a cycling theme, and she said her niece, Alec’s cousin, has MS, so Alec has been doing the Bike MS ride since he was 12! Alec and his dad do this ride every year. Last year Alec raised over $2000 – they both rode 75 miles each day, in the hills of Vermont! J. and her daughter are the cooler girls – they wait at the rest-stops with drinks and food. Great family support! We’re looking forward to photos from this year’s Bike MS in Vermont which will be held August 8-9, 2009…Go, Alec!
Alec, now, but still being a little boy at heart! Photo at left is from his Bike MS 2008 event

Love the story — way to go Alec!
Was J. cutting Alec’s hair back then? Poor kid!
Great Job Erin! That’s my Boy!
Matt- that was the “Bowl Cut” Very popular in the early 90’s! No, I didn’t cut his hair! Smarty pants! However, I do cut it now! I just sent him the link. He said, he remembered that sweatshirt – it isn’t a sweatshirt but, whatever?
Off today!!! SUnny and beautiful in Vermont!
Will be back at Yellow Turtle tomorrow! Selling Le-Top & Rabbit Moon!

PS Liana has a break from Mama- Mia comes back to Vermont tonight!
We consider Alec to be one of our VIPs at our ride!! And we love the “unofficial” cheerleaders that follow him 🙂
Bowl cuts! Good grief. I think Alec survived that pretty well. He’s a hottie…nice hair-dressing, J.!
