Happy 2nd Birthday Ellie!

Happy Birthday Ellie! You are 2 yrs old and you aren't my baby girl anymore. Although I'm always going to call you that, even when it embarrasses you.
You are a sweetheart and have learned so much the last two years, we love you with all our heart.

A beautiful cake for a beautiful girl.

yeah! Presents!

"This is cool, it makes music while I color!"

"Mommy! Grandpa and Grandma Marshall gave me a Dora doll!"

Good job picking that Dora doll out Grandpa. She won't take her nap or go to bed without it.

Dora books! Thanks Uncle Dave.

My tutu that mommy made me.

Nice wheels!

She tried so hard to blow the candles out, she did pretty well but it took two tries.

And a little help from mom.

Here baby, have a drink.

Watch out!

Yummy, this is good stuff.

Thank you to all the family who was able to come to her birthday party. She has truly loved all the gifts she was given and we are grateful for such loving and supportive family.

You guys rock!

Wow, my little girl is 2, I'm old! :)

Back Online

So I think I have everything squared away with my laptop now. It was interesting there for a couple of days, not only did my hard drive fail, my external drive which had all my data on it decided to give me a scare and stop working before I got my data transferred over to the new hard drive in my laptop. I was physically sick for 24 hrs, I thought I had lost everything. My pictures! My video clips! But my sweet hubby took it up on Friday to have it looked at, he took it for me so I wouldn't have to lug the three kids into Best Buy with me. The Geek Squad guy gave him the best news ever! "The driver for the external case has gone bad, the hard drive inside is just fine. You just need a new case!"
I can not tell you how relieved I was when Paul called and told me.
Learned a couple of lessons, back up more frequently and have two ways to back up your precious info!

Laptop Down

My laptop was nice enough to tell me that the hard drive was going to fail, nice huh? So it is in at the laptop doctors and hopefully the transplate will be successful then the hard part beings. The recovery and rehabilitation.
Be back soon and will get Ellie's birthday pictures posted.
