Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken 9 years ago today, on February 8, 2014.

Rebecca had just gotten her very first iPhone and laid down on the living room floor to figure out all of its features. Booty liked this game.

This was a much quieter February than many of late. Big "INs" of the month were the Winter Olympics in Russia, no kids, huge snowstorms that kept us indoors for days, House of Cards on Netflix, and the release of a quaint little online card game, Hearthstone.

It would be another two years before I finally got my own smartphone (the phone I had in 2014 slid open to reveal the tiny keyboard inside), and another six months after that before I actually took my smartphone anywhere -- it mainly sat on the corner of my desk like an anachronistic landline.
