Friday Fun

Scanning in old pictures or slides is a great way to preserve them and restoration can be digitally done on pictures that may need it....that's my photo tip for the day! Thought I'd share some of those old photos that are my faves (that I talked about in my question/answer session last Friday), that I didn't take (these were taken by my dad):

I love this one. It's of us (Lanson, Darin and me) after we returned from Japan. My dad took this picture outside in my grandparent's backyard for our Christmas photo that year.

Me, a baby in Japan.

My brothers, Lanson and Darin and myself at the Metolious River in Oregon.

Believe it or not, this is my first memory. Sitting on a cement block in Okinawa, Japan. I was three years old.

And here's the one I was talking about from our wedding day (I don't know who snapped this one, maybe my mom?):

Do you have any old photos you'd like to share?

I love those. Our scanner/printer pooped out a couple of months ago. Finally we can get a new one. I'm scanning in all of the pictures from our childhood.

We don't have a scanner, but thanks for sharing. I love your baby pictures. Every time I look at your wedding pictures I am amazed at how young your husband looks -- you look the same to me -- lovely and vivacious!

Wonderful pictures and memories! I can't believe the pictures scanned in so well! I must not know how to use my scanner correctly (err, just like the rest of the technology-type items in my house!)

Loved seeing you and boys when you were so little. That 1st shot is amazing- loved it. You were such toe heads and so cute.. I love how Mark is cradeling your elbow so softly in that picture- it really is sweet.

Does Darin have a blog? I haven't ever seen pictures of their kids- do you have any?

I think you still look sooo much the same. Cute pictures.

That first picture is a really great shot. We are going on a vacation in a few weeks to Japan.
