My sister and I when we were little

I have few family photos.  My mom now lives in Victoria and has the bulk of them, and I never remember to get everyone’s pictures when I go on trips with my dad.  That’s why I was so happy when a friend of my mom’s scanned this photo and sent it to me.  Aren’t we cute?  I think I’m about four years old in this one, and Flavie is three.    My mom made the dresses.

I recently found my mom’s photos from the seventies, housed in groovy fabric-covered binders.   This was before digital cameras, before you could select the perfect shots out of the three hundred pictures you took at the party.  It’s great to get a glance of her life.   I keep saying that I should print out pictures and keep them in physical albums, but maybe I just need to take more of them.
