I love doing it not only for my kids and theirs, but for myself. It's so good for me to re-read things. One of the best things I've done is made hardbound storybooks for my kids (www.lifetalesbooks.com). I wrote the story of how Kevin & I met, dated, got married. I also took all the old pictures of my ancestors that I scanned and put them into one book with a couple of paragraphs about each person. It's more kid-friendly than a 200-page history, and they can put names with faces that way, too. I'm also making for each of my kids for their 12th birthday a book of their 4-generation pedigrees, with pictures and some good info about what each of those people was really like. Anyway... didn't mean to have my comment longer than your original post. It's just that I'm right there with you! So invaluable!!<br /><br />By the way, I'm just catching up on blogs (haven't read any for weeks), so... love the walk across the bridge and the peach tarts! MMM!! :)Jennifer https://www.blogger.com/profile/12948795763094052260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884884903912388767.post-38234549983877297002009-08-02T09:52:41.477-07:002009-08-02T09:52:41.477-07:00Great post.

She also made books for us with pictures, the talks from his funeral, the program, and many other things that I will keep forever. Someday my children will be able to look back at these things, and remember the special man that was their Grandpa. I commend you for wanting to write things down, your children and grandchildren will thank you for it someday. Good job, Hillary!Boophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652824463145006191noreply@blogger.com
