Wah!<br /><br />MM, good point. I remember one time my parents saying the things they'd miss most if we lost our material possessions were the photo albums.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-51168144477460496692010-03-10T10:08:17.038-06:002010-03-10T10:08:17.038-06:00From the other side:

(pre-digital, but I worked at a film processing lab, so it all worked out) I had album after album of pictures of him and his dad, not anything "special", but they told the story of his life through my eyes. When that life became my past life, I left them. They were the story of HIS life, after all... His dad died a few years ago, and those albums were re-discovered way back in the closet where the Wicked Step-Mother had hidden them.<br />We looked back through them, and it's hard to believe that they document the every day real life of his childhood - the ordinary moments (like a trip to the mailbox, or "helping" me sew by unpinning the seams as I stitched, using his 10 year old boy hand as a pincushion, just because)...<br /><br />My Notmykid is now expecting his own firstborn child and told me the other day that those photo albums are his most treasured material possession.MooreMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524893692649808227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-16792763850493659422010-03-10T06:55:53.625-06:002010-03-10T06:55:53.625-06:00Rebekah, if you ever get done using your brain, ca...Rebekah, if you ever get done using your brain, can I have it?<br /><br />I just love the way you write. <br /><br />Cheryl, hopeless CSPP groupieCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-9979004844947367612010-03-09T17:45:35.317-06:002010-03-09T17:45:35.317-06:00>>It's weird how the photos make it look...>>It's weird how the photos make it look like we're just another one of those goofy, crazy families full of love and fun and good times.<<<br /><br />Yes. Yes. Sometimes on nights when Dad's gone and I've finally wrestled the ferocious little dears into bed, I find that scrolling back through our family blog makes me not only able to face the thought of tomorrow, but maybe even to like them a little bit. Because their maddeningness is after all of the hilarious variety when seen through that magic lens.Reb.

But then the camera is hiding and before I can find it the cute passes and everything is lost. <br /><br />But if I could CALL my camera, it would ring and be found and, oh! Everything would be preserved! <br /><br />You know what else I need? A phone I can call with my camera.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-66595488186845102512010-03-09T15:12:27.616-06:002010-03-09T15:12:27.616-06:00I was thinking the same thing...I was trying to fi...I was thinking the same thing...I was trying to find baptism pictures of each of the kids...I have about 500 of the twins (I"m not kidding, there were four cameras clicking) and I have 1...yes...ONE of Andrew...who will be fourteen in June. And hey, we thought we had a gazillion photos of him! <br /><br />I love digital photography and the ease of sharing our kids with distant family and friends! It makes me feel a bit less isolated here in flyover country!Dakotapamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600901961685207952noreply@blogger.com
