When I was creating a slide show of The Grownups through the years to share at the wedding, I had to keep stopping myself from Facebooking or Instragramming or Blogging this or that cute photo, as I wanted it to be a surprise. Not that anyone that wasn't at the reception (and possibly even some of those folks) wants to spend 9 minutes on it, but it irritates me that because I made it in iPhoto, I can only share it from my iTunes account.
Clearly I'm not irritated enough to break it off with Apple, but now I get the terms and conditions brouhaha.
Back to the slide show. The music was: Hey, Ho (The Lumineers), Gone, gone, gone and Home by Phillip Phillips. I really wanted to use the Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros song Home (maybe for a first anniversary slide show?!), but it didn't feel right. I tried to pair photos of them at similar ages and/or at similar places (Disney). This is my favorite pair.
This was the other pair that worked well:
Be sure to visit Gary, Karen and Susan for their Time Warp posts--and if you want to join in the fun, just shoot me an email.
Oh, I bet making that slide show was a charming trip down memory lane.

Cute, Cute, Cute!!!
My kids were dino-ed out as well, but they would probably be horrified if I found and shared a picture. Boys don't get the cute factor as much as girls do.

Oh my gosh; puff paints! That brings back some memories.
Love the photos so much. I've got no doubts that your slideshow rocked!

Now I'm trying to think what song should play for the fiftieth anniversary celebration. "It's a Beautiful Day" over "Back in Black," I hope.

That hat with the dinosaur sweats made me laugh! Adorable photos, and so sweet that you made the slideshow.

Jenn,
I'd love to know your best finds in terms of organizing, editing, storing (in case of fire/theft) and sharing photos.
I'm feeling desperate for an easier system / routine / software, etc. I bet you have some great advice!
