This photo was taken at my friend's wedding a few years back. It is hard for me to believe at times that in 2010 my kiddos will be aged 23, 20, and 15! Yes, I was a mere babe myself when I had them

I made up a box for each of the girls with mementos that I have collected over the years. I have pictures, class photos, report cards, ribbons, greeting cards, drawings and other fun things for them to sort through, and store as keepsakes from their childhood. I have also written down info on the back of some photos that identify, people, places, dates, and other things that will be forgotten over time, or unknown by their own children should they have them.

The memento box project for the kids is almost complete. Next I'm going to start converting my Dad's massive slide collection to digital photos. It will be very time consuming, but much like the scanning of all the old photo albums, very worth it once finished.
