For the past several years, I’ve been on a search for a scanner that I could use to easily scan the hundreds of photos that I have from the pre-digital days. I was very excited to find one on Amazon for a reasonable price and with decent reviews, so I ordered it. I got it yesterday and started scanning away. (While watching TV, which is the best part about this scanner, it doesn’t even need to be hooked up to a computer!)
So now of course I want to share some random old pictures…
My dad! From a cruise we took as a family in 1998, just a couple of months before he died. He hardly ever drank, but c’mon, when in Mexico…ya gotta have a margarita! (And he was just being silly here with the fake scowl.)
Here I am in the middle of marathon #2, the 2003 Marine Corps Marathon. I ran it and raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
A truly horrific photo of myself, circa probably 2001ish? And my friend Chris. This picture is what I consider to be an “inspiration pic” for WW. As in, let me get inspired to NEVER look like that again.
This is from The Most Perfect Day, Ever. (Pre-babies and marriage, of course.) This was in London, circa 2001, I think.
And here’s a random picture of me from a music festival in Englad in the summer of 1997.
Oooh, best Halloween costumes ever. We were bags of tea!
And we decorated Kristina’s car like a box of tea. This was 1998.
Okay, I’ll stop now.

The teabag costumes (& car) are priceless.

If you can provide infos on the scanner you got, I’m looking for a scanner too that will take the pictures itself and not being a slave in front of it to scan around 3000 pictures would be a real deal for me. And if for a bonus it can scan around 5000 (not a joke really around 5000) diapos that would be a big hit, all of the diapos are from my own childhood, vacations and such, I give up with a regular scanner it would take 3-4 months by hand with someone in front of the computer 24hrs a day, time is running out (I was born in 1980 so that makes most diapos around 25-30 yrs old) already lost around 300 diapos like that, they’re not good forever that’s why I want to scan them.

Long time reader of your blog! Your boys are adorable! I just had to comment and say that your boys look SO MUCH like your dad! 🙂 I always thought they looked just like your husband, but wow, they are definitely your dad’s grandsons. 🙂
