These are some of the precious old photos of our family!

I thought I would share a few of the photos that we received from relatives since we have been researching our genealogy. It has been a complex task but also more rewarding than I ever imagined it could be.  We have recently experienced several deaths in our family and this has been a  way to celebrate those we lost. It's been a bit surreal because not long ago I really would have had to think very hard to remember anyone that was closely related to me that had passed, and now I have a list that comes quickly to my mind (My mom, a sibling and grandparents).

I want my children to know where we came from and to hear all the crazy, funny stories about our relatives (there are so many!), photos really help tell the story. Fortunately, we live in a digital age and our family has been gracious enough to scan their family albums (even from those albums that turn yellow and fuse the photos to the pages). Now that we have a large collection of family photos, we never want to lose them like we have lost digital images in the past from computers that crashed -I lost over 500 vacation photos that way :-(

From Photo Mess to Photo Bliss. 

Introducing ThisLife, by Shutterfly.

Why do your photos and videos—the most precious things you own—spend all their time out of sight and out of reach? Hidden in shoe boxes. Trapped in old phones. Buried in expired laptops. Concealed within folders. Within folders, within folders, within—you get the idea.

With ThisLife, we can help you intelligently organize all your photos and videos so you can spend less time managing memories and more time making them. That means gathering your photos from your different devices and different sites – your smartphone and tablet, your laptop, from Facebook and Instagram, Flicker and Picasa. And not only from your device or your account, but from your spouse and family’s, as well! Finally, a way to consolidate photos from all your family members across all devices without having to worry about duplicates.

If you decide that this is the solution for you and your family, you can take advantage of our launch promotion - $59/ year (normally priced at $79) for our 25,000 photo and video plan plus a free 20-page 8x8 photo book ($29.99 value) or $139/ year (normally priced at $199) for our 100,000 photo and video plan plus a free 20-page 12x12 photo book ($59.99 value).
