Well, I am a little late in this post. School actually started last week. I was a camera freak. My oldest, he is 15, a sophomore in high school, hates it when the camera comes out. He always groans and asks why I need to do this, well, I just do, that is the standard response. My mother never took first day of school pictures, well, not that I know of, I didn't find any. I guess she just didn't have the time, she didn't have the energy, she just didn't. I wish she had. I wish I had those memories, but you cannot explain that to a 15 year old, they don't have any regrets, or wishes from the past. Their experience is of the here and now, so that is the way it rolls. I cannot explain to my son that someday you will like these pictures. I am taking Ralph's advice, taking pictures of all of them and in copious amounts when the moment arises. A while ago, I was writing about Patrick's long hair, and Ralph's advice was to take lots of photos. SO I do, of allof them, silly ones, embarrasing ones, nice ones, ugly ones, all kinds. Thak goodness for a digital camera! Those camera cards are wonderful, over 500 pictures can be taken at a clip. Not that I have done that, before downloading, but I have gotten up to 200. I love my camera, really I do. It looks like an old fashioned 35mm. The best is that I look thru a viewfinder, not at the back of the camera to take the photo. Scott bought it for Christmas for me last year. It was a nice suprise, seeing as the day was a little hard for all of us. So, anyway, I am ging to post the kids' first day pictures for all of you...not vacation pics, kids, I know that you all LOVE my pictures.....tee heee.

Yours kids are adorable. A lovely post too I might add.
Sam hates the camera too now but pointed out when my husband made the video of our San Diego trip that he wasn't in many of them. Can't bloody win can you? lol
Hugs xx
I have a camera like that too but I just cannot get used to using the vue finder; instead I look through the traditional black hole with the camera up to my face. It lets me steady the camera rather than have it away and chance getting a blurry photo.
Nice photos of the kids.
Sorry I haven't been around. If you read what I've been doing lately, you'll understand (and pray for me at great lengths!). Good pics of the kids. I'll put one up of Cassi soon.
Great idea. The more pictures the better. And, don't forget to back that computer up in case the hard drive fails.
The book you asked about is titled: "Lost Children of the Ohio Valley."
You are wise to take all those photos. When I was a kid we never owned a camera so there are few pictures, unfortunately.
Your kids are so cute! The 15 year old does have that look on his face that says, "Ah Geez Mom!!!" LOL
Oh, forgot to mention, boy is she getting SOOOOO big!
