Well, I did it. I have gone through every digital image I can find of J&K.
There's a LOT.
Pretty much freaked out for 24 hours, looking at it all and trying to wrap my brain around how to organize the images into both a chronological blueprint of their lives so far, and also do it in a way that is creative and cute. Holy shit.
Had to go away from it for a while to think. Went to church. Actually prayed about the photos. Came back to the photos. Ugh, not much better. There is so much and its all over the place. Got mad at my past self for not being more meticulous about labeling and organizing pictures in a coherent way. Went to the driving range and took out frustration on golf balls. There's that's better. Came back tonight. Moved, copied, labeled, and categorized. A little better now. I have a plan. It's in the baby stages and quite shaky, but it's a plan.
There is a bright side to all of this, though...I get to spend hours looking at the two little faces I have missed so much...

OH MY WORD......I LOVE these pics of J & K. You are doing a marvelous job w/digi sb! AMAZING! :o)
Jen, this is so, so special. Kelly stole my raffia analogy, but whenever I approach anything rather daunting, I always say,
"Jen says that it's only raffia and I can conquer this". Got Bob saying it too. Anyway, you are doing an amazing job and you will have it forever and ever and the kids will have it forever and ever and on it will go!!! I LOVE reading your blog. Love you, honey! Mom
