Where are the photo albums?

With William and Alexander’s birthdays being this past week, I scoured through tons and tons of photos of them throughout the past 4 years. These are my precious memories captured in time. The moments I won’t forget. The faces that have changed and grown. It was amazing going through the photos…

Or, I should say… the folders upon folders upon folders of photos on my computer desktop.

That’s right. I have my sons histories captured in time, but stored away in folders in my computer.

This is what I miss most about the “old” days.

I didn’t go digital until 2003. And from my very beginning in May of 1978 through November of 2003, all of my photos are in albums. Neatly organized in albums. I love it. I flip through them whenever I want… and wherever.

Now?

It’s searching through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photos on my computer. It truly made me put printing these photos on the top of my to-do list. 5 years of photos. 5 years of my life. 5 years of marriage. 4 pregnancies. 4 births. 4 sons.  All on my desktop.

These were some of my favorites to come across… again…

I can’t get over the striking resemblance between Alexander and Benjamin. This was Alexander at 15 months.

This was the very first time William locked eyes with Alexander.

This was Oct. 16th, 2007. The night I found out I was pregnant with Henry! I had just told my parents!

Matt and I kissing William. He was 3 days old.

On the way to the hospital to have Benjamin!

William as a baby… doesn’t Henry look just like him?

    I love looking at photos. I do enjoy scrapbooking and journaling with the pictures, but who has the time. I too have the last 5 years on disc or in folder on the computer.
    Your boys are gorgeous!

    I know what you mean. I haven’t developed pictures from our digicam in such a long time! They have these digital photoalbums now, I wonder if they’re a good buy.
