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.
ReplyDeleteI 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,
ReplyDeleteOur 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.
