Our Online Photo Album

Instead of a box of thousands of pictures with no dates or captions, our kids will get to see a chronological set of pictures depicting our lives. The nice part is that there will only be a few pictures for each month -- all in order.

When you click on a photo, it will pop up in a new window on your screen.  You can then close the window that pops up when you are done viewing the photo.

Late 2006 update....
I need to catch up with photos on this page! We take so many trips that I have somehow fallen behind. One day, I'll find time to get caught up with all of our trips. Life has just been so busy ever since we learned Camille was on the way!
