the project that never ends

I came across these pictures a few days ago, and I just couldn't resist.
I love how little and adorable my boys look.

I love the piles and piles of leaves.

I love the memories of our days at Wymount.

I had some spare time last week so I bravely revisited my quest to scrapbook (Wikipedia uses it as a verb, so I can use it as a verb) the lives of my kids and my family.

With the addition of these pictures, our family scrapbook is now up to November 2004.

Considering I've done a year and a half of Garrett's book and haven't even started on the other two, I'm over 16 years behind, cumulatively.

That's just downright depressing.

It's not that I don't like to scrapbook. I really quite enjoy it, especially when I've got a good Jane Austin flick playing that I can half listen to while I'm in my zone. I've tried a myriad of methods and I've got my system down, now I just need a good year with nothing else to do...at all.

So cute. We miss your darling boys (and girl). Digi is the way to go! So much faster, you could catch up with only 6 months of nothing at all else to do...

Too cute! Hey, can you email me your recipe for creamed corn? My fam loved it last year. Laurathompson52@aol.com

The last thing I scrapbooked was Sariah's birth, which took place a year before we moved from Provo. I don't think I'll ever catch up.

how cute are those pics? yeah - I don't look at cumulative totals for "years behind" because that's a game I just can't win. : ) As long as the pictures are getting taken, you're still on the right track, in my mind.
