My MIL(lol) I've been trying to get pictures of my DH by himself without his twin sis, for over 5 years now... My DH asked his mom yet again, she said she gave them to a SIL who was supposed to scan them all and give each of his siblings, a CD so they could all print what they wanted... He got furious(under his breathe of course) She said she had bought the other SIL a $500 scanner in return for doing it ALL for everyone... Needless to say she's(SIL) has had them the whole time now(about 7 years) My MIL hasn't had them in her possession since before I asked the 1st time, which was to do a video for our wedding reception... And to this date I still don't have any photos of my DH as a child other than the few he had that had both he and his twin in... I guess I'm learning at this point to just forget it... it'll never happen... that way if it does(a miracle in itself) I will be so pleased

Anyway, sorry for the tangent...

I think it's an awesome gift for your mother! I really need to get all the stories down my mother has shared with me through the years, before it's too late, so she can make sure I heard them right(lol)
