hard drive tragedy

So, I am trying not to cry as I type this mini post (oh, please. who am I kidding...each one of my posts are mini). I have suffered the loss of a hard drive. A hard drive with photos that are so incredibly special to me. Poof. Gone. A lesson in proper back up was made and driven home to me, no less.

Now, I refuse to give up on this expensive to retrieve hard drive. It was a mechanical issue which could easily mean $1000 for hard drive recovery. :-( So, it will happen, just not right now.

So...needless to say I will be contacting my lovely family members to inquire about collecting contributions in the form of photos from River and Kathryn's birthday party (just to name one special event from the hard drive).  So, Debi and Tina...could you pass onto me some photos when you get a chance please? Let me just say that I was so pleased with the photos I took from River's party that I feel a tear forming in my eye. :-(

But...alas. Life goes on.

I will be posting again soon...we are about to start Christmas vacation and unlike River (who loves school so very much) I am beyond excited to have him home with us for about two weeks! Yay! He's excited, too it's just he really thinks school is a wonderful place and he will be missing his friends.

Sorry, no photo this time. I will really make a much better effort to keep this little blog up-to-date. Just watch out. It'll happen. :-)
