Arnold and Newlin: 1956 Eddie and Allan

In January 1956 Arnie and Newlin keep up with the Infant Boys Percentile Chart to monitor that their sons are developing normally. Allan is year old and Eddie is 28 months old. There is a blurry snapshot of Arnie and Newlin, too, probably heading off to church or a wedding.

The Solar House had a small fire in December 1955 rendering it uninhabitable, so Arnie and Newlin move to a small house (or duplex) in Arlington. Eddie enjoys their new suburban life: riding a tricycle and washing the family car.

Arnold and Newlin: 1955 winter snow

In January 1955 Newlin's sister Sheryl arrived from Florida with her son Bucky to assist Newlin after the birth of Eddie's brother Allan. The photo show the MIT Solar House in the background.

The woman in this photo vaguely resembles Arnie's mother Hazel Nevis,
but I have no record of her visiting Arnie and his family in 1955,
so I suspect she is a fellow church member or distant family from the area

Arnold and Newlin: Life with Eddie 1954 part 1

This is Eddie's certificate of baptism from Old South Church in Boston:

And here are some photos of Eddie with dad Arnold and with mom Newlin in the MIT Solar House in the first half of 1954. The house was furnished in the 1950s modern style. Most of the large furnishings came with the house and did not belong to Arnold and Newlin.
