Since we rarely viewed all those photos...some in books and most just dumped in a large box we did a purging. I divided them as evenly as possible and put them in boxes for each of our kids to deal with. In looking back, I wish I had kept a small amount for us here. The purging we did was fairly quick since our house was for sale and we needed to move things out fast. I'm sure in looking back it would have been nice to have "some" of our "stuff" here. I viewed this purging as a "gift" that our children wouldn't have to deal with some day down the road when we were gone. Here---we're living more simply.
