She was sitting with me last night flipping through pictures of us on an old iphone and we breezed through pictures ranging from a bump in mommy's belly to the big girl she is now in only a few minutes.

we still have the sonograms, regular old fashion pictures and CDs. We went through them all this past week.
We found an old camera and film and my son thought we could get big bucks on EBay since it is ancient
It does go by fast, enjoy it while you can.

I suggested my brother do something like this with his kids. I would take, though, a whole person shot, to show how they get so much taller over the years, not just how the face and hair change.

Might be interesting too, to hear what she has to say over the years. What kind of things is she talking about at age 4, or age 8, or age 12, compared to age 16?

15 seconds per week, though, would be 13 minutes per year, or over 3 hours for 14 years. With a 4 minute video, he is only using 17 seconds per year.

You had 30 seconds to sum up everything interesting that had happened to you during the past week. My oldest daughter came up with the idea as a family diary vLog thing, but it just sort of petered out.

I still have those videos. I should merge them to do something like this.

if you have the time. I just went through all of my family's photos after seeing The Kinks video online
last week. It is nice to go back and remember the old days.
