Sweet Memories

Since I have been at home for a few weeks now, I have organized and cleaned (more organizing than cleaning actually) several things that I have been meaning to get to but just couldn't find time while working...

One of these things is my pictures from the past several years. I was really good at keeping them chronologically placed in albums - I mean to the point that if you open one of those previous albums to the front cover, you will find a list of all the events that are in that album. They are numbered too! I know that's ridiculous. Well, I fell into the craziness of single-parenthood and totally lost my groove on the picture organizing :( There are two large boxes full of disorganized pictures since 2005 or so...Jon all but banned me from going through them after we moved into this house because I started looking at them then, but ended up crying like a big baby over my babies and their dad...He really didn't know what to do with me that time - and honestly there was nothing he could do - just deal with some of my craziness - the poor guy! I'm not crying this time, but remembering so much and thankful for those memories.

When I finally started looking through the pictures, I found these sweet kids in them that I barely recognize anymore! I miss these days so much! They were so sweet and young and cute! I love the baby faces...



These were taken in the Spring of 2005 - the last time we went to the beach with Josh. We got some great pictures of him with the girls there - one of my faves:



That is possible the sweetest little look Caroline has on her face that I have EVER seen!

I think this was the second trip we took to the beach with the kids. The first time Caroline was not fond of the sand at all. She wouldn't let us put her down on the beach without a towel or chair underneath her, so this picture was quite the milestone for her:



Sweet little toes and fingers!

I have really enjoyed looking through them and love my Picasa to organize them in. It puts them in order by year when I load the CDs!  So even if I don't know what year the pics were taken, the picture CDs do, and somehow the software pulls out the info! AWESOME! I would recommend Picasa to everyone!
