So many photos!

Hi everyone-

It's time for my bi-annual blog post!  haha- time just flies.

My Grama Dodie has made the decision to sell her home in Riverton at Tithing Hill.
She has been after us for years to come and pick up our pictures from her home.  She has been saving all these mementos and photos for literally forever.  The only catch...they aren't sorted.  Years and years of photos.  Who are they, where was this at, what year was this?

We have found so many new memories that we have forgotten about.  I have felt bad for a while for Montana and Justice because they were born more in the digital era.  All of their photos are on the computer, on disks, and on devices.  Sierra has lots of paper photos, scrapbooked stuff.  The other two have a folder of pics that they have looked through over and over again. But Grama gave us photos of all the kids that they can hold in their hands.  They are giddy! And so am I!  Digital is great, but not if it's not easily accessible. And it isn't.

With all of these new photos from Grama- I am inspired to put all of this stuff into a central location.
Years ago when I was really great at blogging frequently, adding pics, and journaling, I printed 2 different years into a yearbook type book.  THEY. ARE. AWESOME!  Things I would have forgotten, memories that I might have lost forever.

I've made the decision to get these photos Grama passed on, as well as the ones I've had in boxes and folders uploaded to this blog.  And then I will print them into books.  One for each child, and one for me.  They are a bit pricey, but what I think is more important is cementing these memories in their minds and letting them have something to hold in their hands.

So prepare for photo overload!  It may take me a while, but it's got to be done.
