This is where the old saying, "A picture says a thousand words," really holds true. I am not a huge picture person and think my husband's aunt is a bit crazy when she tries to get 75+ people between the ages of 0 and 80 together for the annual family photo.
Pictures are a very important part of who we are and do a great job of telling our stories. We regularly print pictures we've taken from vacations and special events or just a part of everyday life. We find these pictures helpful when our daughter asks a question about something that happened in the passed.
We regularly display pictures around our house, changing them to keep current. My daughter has photo albums she looks at regularly along with the photos on our computers. This encourages me to want to take me more pictures just because. Of course this is becoming more fun as our daughter is starting to take her ourn photos, often of her feet.
Two of the biggest photo events for our family, however, are the slide shows my husband put together for a couple big events. The first was for my dad's 65th birthday and we had a difficult time locating enough pictures to fill five minutes plus nothing from his childhood. Luckily with the help of his coworkers and friends we were able to pull it off. The second slide show was to celebrate our daughter's adoption and baptism. This time the problem was limiting the number of photos.
So enjoy your photos. Share them often, download them and see how they can brighten someone's day.
