RIP

This holiday season, 2, yes 2, hard drives have kicked the bucket in this house. Actually my hard drive is on its deathbed so we are hoping for one last breath to transfer out 3 years' worth of photos. Seth's called it quits and refused to recover after being frozen for a day. It truly is amazing how much you rely on your computers for everything. Lesson learned...must. backup.

Quotes from a 6 Year Old

"Eli, what is your favorite number?"
"7."
"I want you to practice writing your numbers 7 times each."

(a few minutes later...)
"Mom, I should have said my favorite number is 1."

Oh Blessed Sunshine...

Where art thou been? Be? Have been? Your absence has caused a lethargy in me. Your very dull counterpart, Cloudy Coverage, has done quite a number on this Midwestern Land. Dumping every kind of cold precipitation one can think of. Snow, yes. Freezing rain, yep. Sleet, I think so.
Just now, I see you Mr. Sunshine. You are peeking your sleepy face through the clouds. No doubt you have been busy warming other parts of this world. And I just read that your appearance today will be short and sweet. Good on you, Mr. Sunshine. You have officially sparked my imagination, my ability to daydream. Of warm beaches and humid evenings...
