Tracey, that is great. I would preserve the picture well so that the childeren can have it as proof.

I also have one same kind of picture, and it is worthful to say the least but degration is the biggest enemy. In time it will.

Depending on the photo, if it is digital you still need to retain the data securely by placing it on a cdrom or alike and storing it away at a secure location, or online storage. However, this is risky.
