For those of you waiting on copies of our photos from occasions long since past....there's cause for hope.
We have a new feature at the Mouse House. We've made all our family photos and other files available on a special password-protected website.
Ten years of digital photos and videos are now available. Better still, all our new files will be available the moment we copy them from the camera!
There are some special considerations.
- The connection is slow, for a couple reasons. You're connecting to the server at our house, and all those up-to-the-second photos means they're all the really big files that come straight from the camera.
- There's no easy preview feature. To peak at a photo, it will probably take you 10-20 seconds per photo.
- It's hard to download multiple photos at once. Though if you're a "power user" you can point your FTP program to the server and go wild.
- The server will be offline sometimes. Usually, it's when our internet connection goes down, but there might be unforeseen issues that bring it down for longer periods.
- Some photos are unavailable. We may decide that some photos, like Lauren's bath time, just aren't allowed outside the house, even for family and friends. I'm sure you understand.
- Some of our naming isn't very accurate. A folder with vacation photos might also contain shots from just prior or after the vacation. So if you don't see something you're looking for, try the folder immediately prior or after the date in question.
- Pretty much any photo we've taken in the past ten years. They're all organized by date. "2007-07-04-Fireworks" would contain the photos from July 4, 2007.
- Special family files, like Allen Woody's WWII audio stories. They're in the "Projects" folder.
- Looking for some of Jace's photos to decorate with? I'll post them here for you to print.
- Anything else someone asks us to post.
- Any friend or family member. Just email us for your password. Please do not share your password with others.
- Passwords will expire occasionally. If yours does, just email us for a new one.
I've attached a little teaser of some of the photos we have in our archive. I'd forgotten all about most of these!
Just shoot us a quick comment or email, and we'll send you a password.
Enjoy!

I think we have the same thing...ask Andy - he knows more about computer stuff than me!
Yes, I've been using it to browse your tax returns for some time now. ;) Just kidding! I didn't know that -- that's great news.
You certainly have the house wiring to support it! Man, what I wouldn't give to have a server closet -- eh hem, I mean "linen closet" -- like that in my place!
