Photos on the computer, scrapbook, or photo album or all of the above?

I'm not sure what to do. All of our photos are on the computer but there is a big part of me that wants my favorites (mainly since ds) in an album. Also, we are in the military and dh was a military brat and he remembers his childhood by where he lived (a long list). So I've decided I want to make scrapbooks for the kids with pages for each place they live. So do I print photos for the album and the scrapbook? Or do I put all of the photos I love in the album and then put fewer different ones in the scrapbook(and also other keepsakes)? Have I overanalyzed this? You bet. But what do you think? Thanks!

    I have alot of baby pics in an album, lots on the computer, and a little photo book of my little girl from last year's easter egg hunt. I think your idea is great, but do what you think they would appreciate when they get old enough to look back on their lives.

    I have 3 kids and have albums for each of them and then one album for family pictures. I would love to do the scrapbooking thing, but I don't have the time right now. When I accummulate around 20 new photos on my computer, I create a new album on Walgreens.com, order the photos and have them mailed. Then I can share the photos with family members and they can either order them and have them mailed or sent to a Walgreens store. We have a printer that does print photos really well, but it's way too time consuming for me right now. I do order extra copies of some pictures and keep them organized in one of those photo boxes in the event that I do need them for scrapbooking in the future.

     FWIW, you are not overanalyzing at all in my opinion. I had to think about how to actually organize everything because with 3 kids and so many pictures, it gets overwhelming.

    Ok thanks guys. We are quickly adding to our family so the pictures are going to get overwhelming. I need a good system. Currently I do use either walgreens or snapfish. I'm thinking I will have one big family album but the scrapbooks will have more things like pictures they drew and things they did in school. (But right now it's just pictures mostly). I'm going to get those huge 3 ring binder scrapbooks. I would give them the scrapbooks at some point. I am thinking about what they would like best as adults. Hard to say but I think I would have liked the scrapbook.
