So I have all of 2006 saved to cloud storage. I also have saved some key photos to a file on my hard drive for printing for graduation decorations. Tomorrow's goal is to tackle 2007 AND 2008. I "think" I have found a system that might work for me thanks to all your feedback.
Random but oh my word looking back through these photos I fully grasp now why there were days when all I could do at the end of the day was exhale and go to sleep. And the way my middle child looks at her dad in every single one of the photos of the two of them together. Melt my ever loving heart. Daddy's and their daughters.
