Oh happy day! (& photo bomb of Leila's 1st year!)

Back in June we lost ALL of our photos taken prior to this year, due to the dropping of our external hard drive (see this depressing post for the deets on that). Needless to say, since that moment I've gotten teary-eyed any time I think about all of the baby pics of Leila that I lost. I don't care as much about the pics from college or the pics from before we were married...I just care about my daughter's baby pics. Anyway, we were told it would cost us a VERY pretty penny just to have someone attempt to fix our hard drive (something about a dust free environment, yada yada). So we haven't done anything about it. And then today happens...

I'm at work, cleaning out my desk and trying to organize my work life before I have this baby. What do I find? A stack of burned disks with ALL of the pics from our old computer!!! I almost crapped my pants. And I can't believe I forgot about them! Basically, when our old computer got attacked by that nasty virus, we paid someone to completely clean it off and re-boot it to get it working again. That's why we got the external hard drive - to save all our pics. Welllllllllllll, the guy who fixed our computer took the extra precaution of burning everything to disks just in case... and i TOTALLY forgot because at the time I didn't care and shoved them in a junk drawer in my office.

Oh happy day!

I have been in bliss re-living my daughter's first year of life. Something I haven't been able to do for months. So, I will share a little snapshot of her first year with you...

I'm so happy to have these again! They may not be the best pics, but it is kinda fun to look back on our funky photo taking skills before we had our fancy camera. Needless to say, this next little one will have some higher quality pics taken!

Happy weekending all!

  3. Emily, I have TOTALLY learned my lesson. From now on LOTS of back-ups of pics in multiple locations. I think I shall look into the cloud, too. I've heard great things about it. :-)
