Storing Memories for When They are 92!

Now that most of my kids are grown, it’s funny the things they tell me they remember, those special days or outings that are their favorite memories, so many things that I don’t remember doing, things that were so simple.

So this morning I’m up, thinking through my to-do list and realized I need to do something *special* yet simple with the little ones, because today may be one of those days they will remember when they are 92, and they will tell their great-grandchildren about their growing up and how God had blessed them with a family that loved them.

Make Them Remember

I use to do scrapbooking, now I just do Facebook. 😉 Someday I WILL get all my digital pictures into photo books.

In the binder I put the words to the songs we were learning; each month we learn a new one.

As we approach the end of 2010 it is good to be reflective of the year, remembering the good and bad times, and see how we grew from them. We can be thankful for the lives that are no longer with with us (Jeff lost an uncle this year).

We are on a school break for a couple of weeks…who can concentrate with so much excitement (Christmas) going on? ;o)

One of my goals this next week is to get ALL of my photos that are on both of my computers and put them on a flash drive AND a CD. I always need a back up of my back up. I also want to make a copy for each of the kids to take with them when they marry.
