Special Gift

So, I am working on a special gift for my father. Well, truth be told it is for the whole family (all though much less for me than for my mother, father and brothers, but more on that later). I am scanning old slides that my father has into our computer and I am going to make a book for him or a DVD, the end matter is less important - what is important is that I am going to be able to get him to relive his memories of our childhood - and of some of his newlywed years before kids. See, his birthday is coming up soon, and I wanted to give him something special and Brendan and I were going to buy a new printer, so we bought a new printer, scanner, etc... and it can handle slides!!!

I am so psyched - I have spent all morning scanning slides into the machine and I am still only 1/2 the way through this box and he has like 40 boxes. Needless to say - his gift will only be the starting point as I won't have the time to scan all of the boxes before his b-day, but none the less, I can't wait to see his face. Here's a sample picture!
