We're still here!

Ever had those times where when one thing breaks, everything seems to? First, Ben had been borrowing a computer from a friend of his because the one we had for almost 7 years wasn't working. Well the one he was borrowing kept crashing so we went and got just a quick fix to our old one. Then the old one crashed and Ben had to send it to San Francisco to have the data recovered that we thought might be lost forever! It had some pictures that I didn't want lost. So now we don't have a computer at all. We have been trying to check our emails at Ben's parents. Then in the middle of all this, we had taken the boys and Jeremy's friend to feed the ducks near our house. Ben saw some muskrats in the water and wanted to take some pictures. As he leaned down to take a close up, Jeremy, who was right next to him, went to throw and piece of bread and hit the camera out of Ben's hand. Down it went into the water! It was deja vu because just last year, Alex threw our camera into a pond. So there it sat in the water. Ben told Jeremy to go and get it (I am sure he didn't want to cut his toe again like last year) and Jeremy was too scared! Then we told Jeremy's friend Sam to. He was too scared too. So in Mom went. Luckily it was just sitting on a rock. We hurried and took the batteries out and rushed it home to a bowl of rice. A few days in the rice and it was saved again!! But I just haven't had time to catch up with the posts. So there's the story for you!!
