If you've been to my house recently, you have probably seen the 3 pictures on my living room end table.  They are the one-year pictures of all 3 of the boys.  A close-up picture taken at Kiddie Kandids (of all places).  I took Jacob's one-year pictures there and have continued the tradition, because I LOVE seeing side-by-side pictures of the same pose of my kids.  It is a theme I have.  I love to see how much they look alike and how different they are at the same time.  Anyway…recently we noticed that the picture of Jacob had little green/blue dots all over it.  Uh, oh.  I took the picture out and as I did it peeled away from the glass, leaving part of the picture on the glass!  I was horrified.  It's one of my favorite pictures of ALL time.  And I've planned the other two boys' pictures specifically to match this one!  Lesson learned – use a matte, or investigate a way to keep the pictures off the glass (any ideas?!). 

That night I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this picture.  I got up and did a mad-search of my craft room/picture keeping/guest room.  From 3 to 4:30 a.m.  Couldn't find an extra.  Not even a smaller version of the same picture.  I was so sad.

But called Kiddie Kandids the next morning and lo and behold…they have ARCHIVES.  Should have thought of that before the 3 am search-and-rescue-mission.  But oh well. 

I was thrilled, and jubilated and so thankful.  SO I have a brand new print of my favorite picture.  And will be finding a new way to display my side-by-side pictures of my three favorite boys.
