Baby Photo & Journal Album: Take It Or Leave It?

I make all my photo albums online. I used Kodak Gallery to make my wedding album and I love the quality.
You build the album online, you can even add captions, and choose the size and way it's printed.
My camera is digital and I almost never shoot in film...unless it's with my Polariod, which I love! But I use digital far more often. And I know I will when my twins are born, too.
I received two huge photo/journal albums as a gift for my twins and of course I am very grateful for the sweet gift, but I don't think I will use them for the above reasons. Maybe something smaller would be better? More of a scrapbook or memory book. But will I use that? Will I need two -- one for boy and one for girl?
I guess I do, right?
In these digital days, I can scan in their birth certificates, first footprints, all that, and add it to the digital photos and make an album that way. So I can make them like I like to make them...online.
Am I not being sentimental enough? I want to make the albums, I just think it would be better to do it how I am most comfortable -- and most likely to do and not put off until I accumulate a mass of stuff and next thing I know the kids are four.
What do you think of photo albums, journals, and memory books where you add physical photos and albums? Are they necessary?

i put it depends, we have two and probably will get a third one, one is one third full, with baby pictures, haven't finished it though =-/ the second one is for us and i haven't finished that one either =-( so.. if we get a third one it will be finished just like the othersl. I think they are not done because i have to use the laptop and the printer and is just one big mess. ay, ay, ay, lol i did make a photo book thanks to Cafemom with shutterfly and now it is in Africa with my in-laws lol, but i was very happy to make it and give it away for them to keep as a memory and I'm making another one and will be ordering the same one we had, hubby liked it and it was a nice Christmas present for him =-D
on antoher note it is nice to have a photo album because people can come and just sit around them and have nice memories of those moments, that is if you have them close by for guest to see them =-)
