Transportation

Today I am thinking of transportation.  And not transportation in the traditional sense of trains, planes, and automobiles.  I am thinking of how pictures can transport you to another time.  I'm starting work on Claire's baby book.  You can call this my method of transportation. Back in the day, I was as big a scrapbooker as they come.  These days, I simply compile the girl's first year in a scrapbook and maybe do a theme scrapbook here and there.  Otherwise, I am so enthralled with the digital era.  I love blogs and look forward to compiling these entries into hard copy books someday soon.  I also like doing movies for our family.  The point is, something has to be done with pictures.  We owe ourselves the thrill of transportation.  I barely remembered these photos existed.  And look at what they capture . . . Claire just three days old.  Her skin looks so soft.  Her face looks so content.  I look like I haven't had much sleep but you can tell I feel so peaceful.  Those newborn moments are so unique and so fast.  And although, I am not ready to drive into that era again quite yet, I am so happy that I have pictures to transport me back for brief moments.
