Rodolfo's graduation, 2001
Three weekends ago Rodolfo and I completed (finally) the 13 hour seminar our adoption agency requires before a couple can begin the adoption process. It was a douzy of a conference with a lot of information. We now have the green light to begin filing paperwork, to do a home study and to put together our adoption album. I've scanned 234 photos so far in the process of compiling this album. I don't think I will use all of these pictures, but there are so many great ones and I just can't decide which will make the cut yet so I'm scanning them all and will decide as I piece the album together. The photos above are some of my absolute favorites from our early days. The first two photos were taken 10 years ago almost to the month! Can you believe that? This scanning process sure has been a trip down memory lane. I didn't realize how many memories Rodolfo and I have made in the past 10 years until I stacked up all of our albums. I'm only halfway through my albums so I guess I have about another 234 more to go!!
Georgia and I visited Granny and Grampy Max this morning. We showed them our recent pictures from last weekend in Dallas and then started talking about all of Grampy's old photos-- the ones that I had been wanting to see. He rummaged around in his office and we found an album with these pictures in it. Aren't they charming? What is it that is so elegant about pictures from the 40s and 50s? I think it may be the way people dressed and wore their hair. That era had sophistication. I look at my photos from 20 years ago and want to hide. But when I look at these photos I just smile and feel good inside. Grampy has tons more and better photos on his slides. He said he would look through some of them and try to find the ones of my mom when she was close to Georgia's age. I can't wait to see them!
