For Christmas, my son gave his mother (and in this day and age I'm forced to add, she is also my wife, thanks "MODERN FAMILY", a Canon Flatbed color scanner. I had an HP scanner many years ago. It was huge, loud, slow and very finicky.
As a testimony to Canon and their new, light-weight modern technology, My wife and I became quickly enamored of this toy tool.
It's quiet, fast, easy to use. Easy to install & configure. And it gives fantastic results, as shown in these images copied from some prints we have in 1 of the dozen or so photo albums we have collected during 29 years of our marriage.

This is my son Kyle. Now 24, when he was celebrating his 3rd Christmas.
Good looking kid. Must be something to that heredity stuff, huh?

This is the little girl, for which no mortal will be good enough to suite her dad.
Amanda, just into the terrible 2s, and 20 years later, still in that phase.
This is how I picture my children, much to their chagrin, when I think about them.

Happy New Year from So. California. No snow here but a lot of rain storms and mud slides! Of course I don't have to tell you that :-)
I hope you and your family had a Wonderful Christmas Celebration.
God Bless You, ~Ron
Love this post, Kurt. I think you're the guy on the left with the shades...and since your daughter is still in the "terrible twos" she must keep you young :-)
I got a new Canon SLR and I am doing a Happy dance.
Wishing you and your family a Happy, Healthy New Year -
LOL Kurt - I love this!!! They are so cute... I KNOW they got it from you!!!!
The coolest thing that showed up under my tree were some little wooden hands... because someone payed enough attention to know I like odd-ball hands. LOLOLOL I know, I'm so weird.
Have fun with your scanner! I think you should do a photo a week with the story behind it... yep...

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
