I know, it's been awhile. I'm hearing from the Grandparents now...You know it's serious when they're begging for some new pictures on the blog and checking our facebooks too :) I do have a few good reasons I haven't been on here, so to justify my behavior, let me list them here:
1. Our internet has been down. Legitimately down. But, after a second call this morning with customer service we are back up and running again!
2. My computer is completely out of memory on my hard drive. Not a single bite left. This has been a long time coming, but it also means we are in the market for a new computer and hope to have one in the next week or so. Praise the Lord and Hallelujah!
3. Because my hard drive is full, every time I want to upload pictures, I have about 30 minutes worth of work to do in deleting old pictures in order to make room. It's a big hassle and often the thought it makes me want to give up entirely. BUT, I've been working on that this morning and like I said, I have a new computer with LOTS of hard drive coming soon :)
4. In our effort to stay home and out of the cold, we all managed to catch a cold. That figures, right?? It started with Ava, then Carter and over the weekend Travis and I. Fortunately, Carter seems to only have a very, very mild version but the rest of us have been hit with a runny nose, sore throat and achy body feeling. I've chosen a nap several times over blogging.
5. It's almost Christmas! Therefore my "spare" time has been filled with address collecting, Christmas Card letter writing, online shopping, errand running, etc. I don't expect that to ease up in the next few days, but get ready because I have an onslaught of posts coming your way anyway to keep you updated and entertained!
So there you have it.
My list of absentee excuses.
Christmas with 2 cuties is more overwhelming than ever, but ten times more fun so far :)
And speaking of those 2 cuties, here they are in their jammies this weekend.
Morning looks and all :)
Apparently shocked at Mommy's lack of blogging too.
No worries, I'm back and soon you'll be sick of me again!
Especially considering the number of pictures I have ready to send you way.
So Happy Monday everyone!!
Especially to the Grandparents in our life :)

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Might as well not stop til Thursday morning, in my opinion.
I think Carter will be an excellent candidate for "Blue Steel: 2024".
Hopefully Stace & I can pick up the flu bug too while we're there and then give it the rest of our families :)
Odd, the grandparents never bug me for more weather maps :) Sorry you have to bear the full brunt of their "grandchild blog pictures demand". Hopefully we and the Knapps will suppress that full demand on you soon :)
See you in two days!!
Steph,
Our digital camera teacher told us to use special archive cd's for storing pictures. They hold a ton. No need to delete. Plus, it keeps them safe from computer crashes that will inevitably happen. You can make doubles and keep one set at some other location.
