Trip Down Memory Lane

I scanned a bunch of photos of Robbie and I from infancy up through when we are married. A lot of people have been asking me what we looked like when we were born, and I thought it would be cool to share with you all what we looked like growing up before we introduce new life that is a blend of both of us into the world. This is an absurdly long post, and I have made it so it doesn't all show up at once (you will have to click "read more" at the bottom of the post, or click on this posts heading). Alternatively you can view it as an album at this link: Picasa Web Album  but if you do that you won't see my comments.
