Blast from the past
Cameron has an assignment this week to create a life timeline of some of the biggest and interesting moments of his life. So we started digging into this blog and all of the old pictures we have collected through the years. The trickiest part is I have stored all of my digital pictures of him on Zip disks… Yeah. Old school storage. And that got me thinking that I need to migrate all of those photos into some other location before they all go away. They’ll either get lost, get old or something terrible. I have so many of Jordan’s baby pictures collected into our Flickr account… Cameron’s first three or so years are saved in external drives and Zip disks. I can’t easily search or even find them to show him what happened during those times.
So… I’m on a new quest. So far, I’ve taken his first month of his life from the disks and saved them to a good external hard drive AND to an online storage space called Dropbox. I’m hoping these two locations will work until I decide to create a new Flickr account or just put really old photos into our current account. I haven’t decided.
Telling Cameron old stories about when he was a baby and a toddler were so funny. I read him old posts about when he was two, three and four years old on this blog. He LOVED hearing the funny things he used to say or the crazy ways he would drive me nuts. (He finds completely new ways to do that now.)
It was fun and a special way to spend an evening with my boy.
