Hi Tina,

I find most of the LUG family snaps are the best by a long run as most are 
taken on the fly and or just doing "HAPPY SNAP" family stuff worth millions 
in later years as you are doing here. If as photo amateurs when we began our 
families they become the treasure chest subjects for later years. I must 
have thousands of slides and B&W negs in three ring binders that for years 
I've said, I'm going to do what you're doing, scanning a bunch for each of 
my 4 children as they've grown-up . Also scores of images of our 10 
Grandchildren. Although with the grandkids I have them organized in folders 
already in the computer so it's much easier to cut a disk and or inserting 
new material as it comes along.

And with two of the grandson's getting married in a couple of weeks I 
suppose it wont belong before I start a Great-grandchild folder given there 
are 10 Grand children!  And time will tell how many GG children will be 
along here shortly. At least I have a half dozen new 3 ring binders I can 
start filling! :-)

A wonderful record of your children as they grow so quickly! This kind of 
record is wonderful for them and their future children.!

cheers,
ted
