New Picture Treasures!
I'm so excited! We just returned home from a trip to the in-laws, who are moving across country and therefore sorting through their treasures. (I'm excited about the treasures, NOT the fact that they're moving!!) I came home with the best treasure of all - dozens and dozens of slides from before they were married, the early days of marriage and my husband as a baby. He's the oldest of five kids, so there's a picture of him toilet training (!), asleep in the jumper and who knows what else. It's my job to sort through them and turn the images from slides into digital files. It'll be a project that I won't get to for several weeks but it's the very thing I love and I can't wait!
