Ever since I’ve gotten a digital camera, I’ve slowly stopped having photos printed. After recently looking through some old photos, I felt the urge to print every photo I’ve taken in the last 6 years. (That’s how long it’s been since I’ve printed any!). I was suddenly worried about how I would look through photos of my crazy early twenties with my kids some day. I mean, what if my computer and two external hard drives suddenly lost all of my photos?! Let’s be real. That would be a freak accident to happen all at the same time, but I still want to have hard copies to look through on a rainy day. These are a few of my favorites.

Ryan being silly under a tree in Canada. (He’s not wearing a wig!) He’s going to kill me for putting this picture here, but it makes me so, so happy. (2010)
