But, I do need a few things from each of you:
- Any memories of Grandma and/or Grandpa or our "family traditions." I know we did this before, but I wanted to put a few tidbits in this book as well. I thought it would be fun if you had some specific, more detailed stories. But, anything you have, even if you already wrote it, I would greatly appreciate it.
- Any pictures you have of Grandma and/or Grandpa or us as a family. You can scan them in and email me (gremily2@aol.com) or send them to me if you don't have a scanner. I probably won't be able to use EVERYTHING, but it would be so great to have quite a few to choose from.
- An updated family picture if you have one.
- "Family Genealogy" Info: Full names, birth dates, marriage dates, and please include all of your children/grandchildren
- Jeri, Linda, and Jan (and maybe your husbands): Any memories you have from your childhood. Any memories you have of your grandparents and/or extended family. Any pictures from your childhood.
- Any ideas of anything I may have missed!!!
When it's done, it will be hard-bound with color pictures. I don't know how much it will cost yet, but everyone will have the opportunity to get a copy if you want. I know the cost will go down the more we purchase. But, I'm not exactly sure what the breakdown will be yet. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
My Plan: Have it ready to go so that as soon as Sarah and Christin have their babies, and we get that info (and hopefully a picture) into the book, I'll send it to the press. I think we can get it in time for Christmas. By the way, what are those due dates? I know they are both November, but I don't know exact dates.
What do you think? PLEASE let me know your thoughts. This really is a huge project, so I need all of you to help. Also, I'm not sure who reads this blog, so could you please leave a comment so I know who knows. Pass the word along. Thanks! - Emily

Sounds cool, what website are you using to create the book? My due date is Nov. 3rd.
That was sarah, not price!
Go, Girl! I will see what I can dig up. Are you planning on getting the memory book that we made from Grandma and Grandpa for reference?
I think you actually have all the best pics of my family! :o) I will get you info and what pics i have. Let us know about cost so we can pitch in.
Sarah: First of all, I assumed it was you and not Price. Secondly, I haven't decided on a publishing company yet. A lady in our ward does one, but I'm not sure of the name. Do you have a suggestion?
Jan: That's a good idea to get the memory book. I also need to get all the picture albums from Grandma and Grandpa. I'll scan in the pictures. Then, I'll put them all on a disc (the ones I use in the book and the ones I don't) and get everyone a copy.
