Clark and I really, really like having tangible photos, however we rarely get our photos printed. So for our anniversary I thought: why not print out photos of us from the last five years (wedding excluded)? I tried to limit the collection of photos to one photo per month, or 60 photos total. I ended up printing just under 300. Overshot the original mark a bit. Luckily, photo albums do exist to store 300 photos!
It's overwhelmingly us. Which is the point, but...it's still a little overwhelming. I did my best to throw family pictures in from time to time. If you come visit, I won't blame you for not wanting to look at it.
Until I determine something better for the cover, I have some cats taking our place.
Some photos from our first year...
First Christmas that we tried to spend with both families...
First wedding anniversary...

I'm really happy I did this. Pictures on the computer are no substitute for the real thing. You're welcome, Clark.

Yeah! that must feel really good...I now feel like I can have the new baby because, finally after 2+years I finished Lucia's baby book. It is nice to have real albums!
Oh good for you, Janet! Can't believe you'll be a mom to three in just a few short days! Completing this album did give me such a great feeling of satisfaction. I think I'll probably do one for years 6-10, too.
Every January I print out pics from the previous year, so we have approx one photo album per year. A lot of photos, but really fun to look through. And i spend more time looking at them than I ever do with my pics saved to my computer. It will be fun in like 20 years when we have 20 albums of memories.
my point i guess is yay for tangible photo albums!
Rachael, that is so awesome! Great minds think alike-- though I think your idea is a little better.
