Backup!
I talked to someone (Angie) the other day that mentioned they had a ton of family photos on their memory card and needed to do something with them. Well today I am working on backing up my families photos. I am pretty good about it, well was good about it. When Samantha was little I would back everything up on CD twice and would give my mom the extra set, good plan and I did it for a couple years but lately haven’t. So I am implementing a new plan and everything for our family is going on a external hard drive and that will be stored at mom’s. This way if something happens I have an extra copy at a seperate location. Just thought I would suggest this to everyone else. At least backup your photos from your computer and save to two cd’s, one for you and one for someone else to hold for you in case of fire. I would go nuts if I lost all my family photos.
And parents even if you are good about getting professional pictures done, don’t forget about those special times, like fun times in the tub. Here’s Samantha in the tub when she was a wee little squirt. Oh I had so much fun doing crazy stuff with her hair…
Is it mean of me to post this, Samantha just walked in and seen it and says it shouldn’t go on the blog, but it is sooo darn cute. (she’s only 5 and it bothers her, she says she doesn’t like her crazy hair)
Edit to add….I made a deal with Samantha the tub photo would stay but I had to add her favorite photo of her and her cat we no longer have…
Leave Samantha a comment if you have time, she thinks everyone will like the kitty photo.

What a beautiful kitty Samantha. The kitty looks like it loves you just as much as you are loving it.

Oh! Samantha don’t worry about the tub picture because all mommys’ do this to their babies. I did it to all of my girls.

Your kitty looked like Puss-n-Boots from Shreck!
Love, Sophia

Sami,
It seems like only yesterday when you were that little with your kitty, now you’re a big girl and will be going to Kindergarden this year.

Samantha,
I love your hair in the tub. Your kitty is so cute too! You are an animal lover. I will have to tell Uncle Brad to look at your cute pictures.
Love,
Aunt Jana and Harper

Sami, I was having kind of a bad hair day like that today. I heard you were going to your favorite hairdresser Terri, I can’t wait to see your new do.

Sami, I love the picture of you with the kitty and I really love the picture with your CRAZY hair. Uncle Jonny says that is what auntie looks like when I wake up in the mornings. You are getting so big, it makes me sad you are growing so fast.
