On this past 4th of July my mom had all seven of her grandchildren as well as her two great grandchildren together for the first time in quite some time. Usually one or more are missing or her step grandchildren are present as well. So she wanted to make sure to commemorate the occasion by getting pictures of all of them!
I hadn’t seen the pictures yet, mostly because I just haven’t spent much time with my mom in the past month. So I was really surprised when we picked my daughter up from her house Sunday evening on our way home from the races and they showed me that they had printed out the pictures that day. They turned out so awesome!
My daughter also let me know that she and my mom went through several boxes of pictures that mom had found up in the attic. She then went on to tell me about all the pictures of me from my childhood she had seen. It was kind of fun reliving the moments the photos were taken as my daughter was telling me about each photo she could remember. I also found out that there are several pictures of me with my father, I had no clue mom still had pictures of me and dad left. So either this weekend or next I plan on taking a trip up to my mom’s house to go through these pictures. I’m sure I’ll cry over many of them, I almost did just listening to my daughter talk about them…LOL!
I think when I get them home I’m going to scan them into my computer, that way I have the actual pictures but I also have copies of them backed up on my computer. What would be cool after I get them scanned would be to put them into a digital frame that I could set out and be able to look at them or show them to people when they come here to visit! I have many fond memories of my childhood, several of which were captured in a picture, and it will be nice to relive them!

I know what you mean those old pictures can get to you. Since your scanning them you could have one of you and your dad made into one of those large paintings. I know a good company for doing just that. They have been very helpful for my family pictures. Take a look if you desire.

Hi Kelly!
Thank you for your comment! I had actually considered having one of the photos of my father and I made into a canvas, but I actually prefer Canvas On Demand and already have one canvas from them that they actually used on their website. You can check it out HERE if you’d like to see it, as well as the many other quality canvas products they offer. They are a spectacular company with top notch customer service and since I know I’d get a top notch quality product from them, I’ll order my canvas from them!
