Joanna, love the Christmas card idea.......being a greenbay packer fan, my first pic was in my greenbay gear........cheesehead and all.......needless to say, we very much upset my family members, they thought my wife had drssed me up and snapped a picture of me looking very bizarre..........since then we decorate me for every holiday.........antlers for Christmas, rabbit ears for easter, and I was quite a display for the 4th of july.....guess we do have a perverse sense of humor.......but, you are right about pics so you can actually see the progress, when you look on a daily basis, you don`t notice the improvment as much...............
