Around Here

Around here friends daughters are graduating and it's got me thinking about photos I've taken of my kids over the years relating to school.  It's hard to believe that in 3 years time my eldest will be graduating and will be an adult.  Time really does fly by.  I've started a spreadsheet for each year and listed the dates and a description of the photos eg. 2014-05-03 School Assembly, 2014-05-15 School drop off etc. This way when I want to put together my photo books I don't have to search 365 folders for the images.  In the course of going through 2008-2013 so far, I have found many photos that bring back so many.  One of the things I'm so pleased to have done and that is I've taken lots of photos of my kids at home, playing in the backyard, their bedrooms, their toys, cooking etc. so I thought I would post some random photos I've picked out.  My kids have had a wonderful childhood and I'm so glad that I have taken all these images.  I'll post some more in a few days time.
