There is an organization of volunteer photographers that will help families of stillborns by taking some photos of their baby.

With the boom in digital photography, the desire to make prints of favorite photos has significantly dwindled. However, for me, the value of having tangible pictures in hand to frame, add to a scrapbook or place in my wallet far outweighs the 15 to 20 cents it cost to make a 4×6 print. What’s more, when you have parents like mine, who are stuck in the pre-digital age, having prints of their grandchildren to cherish is priceless. … Continue reading →

Never mind that my daughter is still running around in her swimsuit and we just polished off the last pieces of pie made from fresh summer berries.
