These pages were initially created using Homesite HTML Editor for Windows 95 v1.0 (freeware). I used a Logitech Scanman Color to scan in photographs. Other photographs are from a Hi8mm camcorder and captured using the Snappy Video Snapshot.  More recent pictures were taken using various digital cameras, my current camera is an Olympus D490Z.  Thumbnailer, from SmallerAnimals software, was used to create most of the picturebook pages. Note: We no longer live in this house. You can see progress (if any) at our new place by visiting here.
