I am trying to organize all of these pictures so that I can give them to my grandchildren after my (hopefully distant) demise.My problem is that a lot of these pictures contain images of his ex-wife.I’m pretty sure I should replace the framed portraits around the house with the pictures of him with his new spouse. But what about all the other pictures?I don’t want to get rid of any of them; after all, she is the mother of my grandchildren.

I’m wondering if he would like me to just “kick the can” down a generation or two and give everyone all the copies and let them decide for themse...
