My Beautiful Family

These are three of my favorite pictures. These were taken professionally. The family picture displays me, my husband Larry, and our son Austin. Isn't he adorable? We get professional pictures taken monthly. Austin was six months old in these pictures. He is now nine months old. We had a picture taken yesterday for his nine month birthday. To me, nothing is more meaningful or valuable than photographs. Since Austin's birth, I have taken nearly 1,000 photos and made lots of videos. I also write journal entries in a diary I plan to give to him when he is grown. Some people may think I'm obsessed and taking way too many pictures, but I disagree. I am able to review my pictures and practically rewatch my son grow. I don't want to forget a single milestone, and to me simply writing an entry in my journal isn't good enough. I must have pictures representing every special thing he does. If the unfortunate event of a fire occured at my residence the things I would grab first are my son, my cat and dog, pictures, video tapes, computer, and memory cards containing media. All of my pictures were on my computer at one time, and it crashed. I freaked. Not only was I crying hysterically, but I even became so upset I threw up. Not too many things in this world have that affect on me. Fortunately, the computer doctor I took my system to was able to recover all my media. I have since tripple backed my files up (flash drive, SD Card, and CD). I plan to open a safety deposit box, and put a copy of each of my cds in it for safe keeping, along with birth certificates and other important stuff.
