Rewind: Olivia Reading

I promised some rewinds and here they are. I'm in the process of cleaning out my hard drive and ditching and saving photos. What a hard decision. I feel like each photo captures that moment of my child and it's so hard to delete them. I definitely keep more photos than I probably should, but it's just hard to choose. Of course, the ones where they are just too blurry don't make the cut, but other than that I don't require much out of my photos from my kids. I just love every photo of them. But I'm being strong and cleaning house.

This was last February. Olivia had just started to learn how to walk. She was a late walker by our standards. Walker set the bar high by walking at 9 months. He actually started walking before he started to crawl. Funny boy. Olivia was a crawler from early on. She mastered the army crawl and knew she could get anywhere that way so walking wasn't a priority. We couldn't get this girl to sit still. Walker could sit for hours and play with the toys around him, Olivia had no interesting in sitting, she was a mover. This day I got her to sit still long enough to take some cute pictures and then she was up and at 'em. Her love for books still continues. She's content when she has a book. I hope that lasts.

Your children are so cute! I know exactly what you mean about deleting pictures. I have been going through mine and found it hard to delete any even when they were blurry. Good luck with your project!

what a run down a memory lane.looking at these pictures remind me of my siblings but now that i have one daughter only ,i think is it unfair that she doesnot have any one to share her child hood

Congrats on being blog of note. :) I am also clearing out my hard drive of photos, and had an idea which I wanted to share (as you seem to be in a similar predicament). I am currently deleting the blurry or duplicate photos. The remaining ones I will be posting on blog before deleting, so that I have an online repository still. :)
Nice family photos by the way.

Congratulations. Your blog looks like a pretty book. How did you manage to do that? and your kids are winners.

well done on getting onto blogs of note! I know what you mean about deleting photos! I always end backing up everything on cds and keeping it all, defeats the point really!

So sweet :-)

I did the same thing with my photo's a couple of weeks ago. ALl the way from 2005, 3 children ago. It was a job and I honestly have to admit that I have a few repeats even though they don't make sense. It's just hard to let them go! Your children are adorable. I have 2 red's myself. So wonderful.

Yeah!!! Our grandchildren are back in the blogging limelight. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Yes, of course it would be nice to squeeze and hold them in the here and now, but viral hugs and kisses will have to do for now. I LOVE OUR LITTLE CUTIE PIES!!

This is so lovely; glad you were a Blog of Note because that's how I found you. :-)
I have two small girls (3 and 5) and so much of what you say makes me smile as I can see exactly where you're coming from.
Look forward to reading more.
God bless you.

Very cute photos you have here. Adorable kids too.:)

David said...

Oh but don't delete anything except the obviously 'wrong' like the unintentional shot of your shoe.

One day, these two may look at each nuance of each shot and be glad they are there.

Get an external hard drive and put them there - get two or three - they are cheap.

CoverStyles said...

I'm new and learning about Blogspot today, and found you on Blogs of Note. Hope this is helpful....we use an external drive to store photos. We don't have to delete if we don't want, and feel secure that pics won't be lost forever if computer crashes. Your photos are great and your children are adorable!!

Both of them were so very cute and adorable. And boys are a magical creature you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with magic words.adult web cams sex chat
