Home Movies

How to make yourself cry in a few easy steps:

• Take your photos and put them in 'cinematography' mode or something similar on a photo editing website like Picnik. (It gives the impression of film stills.)
• Line a few up so it looks as though time is passing right before your very eyes. (And guess what? It is.)
• Note how insanely fast life goes by. Say something cliche like "how is that possible?!".
• Cry like a baby because you're both happy for these amazing moments in your life and because it's profoundly difficult to know how fast it all goes.

Seriously, I feel like Clark Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation when he was stuck in the attic and bawling while looking at old home movies. Minus the fur coat and head dress. I think Clark had it right though - spend as much time making memories as you can because before you know it your very own little Rusty and Audrey Griswold will grow up before your eyes.
