Pictures

I have spent the last 5 days going through digital pictures. We decided that it was time to start organizing the pictures that we had downloaded throughout the years. When I started I discovered that we had started using a digital camera back in 2003. Since that time not once had I sorted, organized, dated, or identified any of our pictures. I did not think to see how many we were starting with before I started going through them. It's probably a good thing that I didn't or else I would have just said forget it. I can safely assume that I had upwards of 6000 pictures to go through. When we started there were 10.4 GB worth of pictures on our computer. I now have 2,555 pictures that take up 4.59 GB of space. Whew, that's a lot of pictures. But we did it. After countless hours of staring at the computer; many, many neck aches that I was wishing I knew a masseuse for; and lots of racking our brain for dates and places it is finally done! Not only did we go through them all, get rid of the ones we didn't want, dated and named all the ones that we did, but I even re-arranged all of the folders so that they were organized by dates also. I believe from now on I will take my own advice. I always tell the girls "it's easier to keep up than to catch up".
Now that it is done I can get back to keeping up with this blog. Quite a few of you have asked when I was going to update it. Today, in honor of the fact that I am organized, I decided to put up a few old pictures. And I would like you to identify them. Do you think you can do it? It's amazing how quickly you forget what kids look like since they change so fast. Secondly, I would like you to tell me which two look the most alike. Good luck and have fun. When you email me the reply I will tell you if you are right or wrong.
