This week my oldest daughter is “star of the week” in her second grade class. Over the weekend, we helped her make a poster to bring to class to share a little about herself with her class. My wife sat down with her to come up with some interesting trivia (favorite food, favorite book, etc), while I went through our photo library to pull out some representative pictures of the last seven years.

Whenever I go back through old pictures, I am always struck by how different people look than I imagine them. Generally, I think I have a pretty good memory. But it seems that when we are around someone every day, it’s too easy to lose track of how they change. Sometimes it is unnerving, but in the end, I’m glad that pictures keep us honest.
