Pictures help us to remember all the important (and not so important) stages of our lives. With digital cameras these days, our kids can expect to have more photos than ever of their formative years. Is that a good thing? After this morning's First News, I think it may be.

We had the chance to look at first day of school pictures from many of us on the First News crew. Donna had cute pig tails and, for some reason, an angry expression. Erin sported a great perm. As for me.. well, let's just say it took me back.

As you can see in this picture, it's a day at the bus stop for me and the other neighborhood kids. I'm the second from the right while my brother is second from the left. Let's see.. I have a bowl hair cut and I'm sporting a great pair of white pants. You can't really tell, but those are Reebok aerobic shoes that were so popular in the 80's. And don't forget the Members Only jacket. How suave!

But as embarrassing as it can be to look at these pictures 20 years later, they are truly treasures. I wonder how my son and daughter will view all the pictures (and video) we're taking of them now? Judging from the fun that we had looking at these old pictures this morning, I think they are well worth the embarrassment.
