Creating Childhood Memories
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011After several weeks of family, fun, and festivities all the excitement has ended. Today is back to the grind. Jack starts back to school, my workout routine resumes, and my job as a stay at home mom continues.
The month of January has always been a downer for me — especially the weather and the credit card bills. This year I’m going to kick my blues to the curb and keep myself busy with something I have been putting off for years. I want to start digital photo books of my kids. I meant to start one for Jack shortly after he was born, but the days and months seemed to have flown by. Now he is three and half years old and I have a slew of pictures that need to be organized. I will free up some hard disk space once I go through and delete the hundreds of photos that are blurry or duplicates.
I asked Jack if he would like to help me with our new project, and he agreed of course. I thought it would be neat for him to help me organize and pick out his favorite photos. Some day when Jack’s kids look at the book they can get a better sense of their daddy’s childhood through pictures.
I do not know how long this project will take. There are thousands of pictures to sort through. I want to finish it sometime in 2011. I’ll let you know if I can get it done by Jack’s fourth birthday.
