My poor pc

This is what's left of my pc. Fortunately, my genius husband was able to extract almost everything off my hard drive.

The computer has been replaced by a Mac, my first ever Mac. I'm not liking the learning curve! Almost everything I do on the computer is a struggle, but hopefully, with time, I will learn.

The Lights Are On... But Nobody's Home.

This is coffee...

...This is your PC on coffee.

Never allow your PC to drink coffee.

SPRING!!!!

A bit more of the grands. . .

We are home after several days in GR with EB and the little girls. We had a great time, but as always, we are glad to be home again, too. How much I begin to understand my parents (and my grandparents too!) and how they loved to come, but going home was a good thing too. Maybe there's a comfort or satisfaction in living life where you are, both in time and geography.Before we left, Little Nora smiled on me! She really did! It was too quick to photograph, but she definitely smiled, from her eyes down to her mouth! It was priceless and I was glad to take it home with me.Carolyn let me braid her hair Sunday. I remember doing this to 3 little girls, one after another! It was like having a room full of dolls.Below, EB and Carolyn at the zoo aquarium.Below, I call this pose "The Michelle," because Michelle used to nap like this all the time when she was tiny. Arms up around her head. I figured she must have spent significant time like this in utero.

Smile on me, Nora!

Carolyn says Nora "smiled on Carolyn." I think she's "smiled on Mama" twice, but I'm still waiting for her to "smile on me!" You can tell she's close, very close.

At the playground

It felt like spring yesterday - sunny and mild. The playground is a great place to be.Carolyn spent lots of time running running running.And Nora stayed chillin' in her mommy's sling.

Great blue herons

There is a great blue heron rookery near our house. When all the trees are bare, you can see the gigantic nests in the tree... You could see 3 or 4 herons up there, but it's pretty high up, so it's hard to get a good picture, so you'll have to use your imagination.

Laura & Jon

Laura and Jon spent a few days at home this week. Here we are at Don Pablo's.

Happy Pi Day

I almost missed Pi Day!

Happy Square Root Day!

Today is 3/3/09, a Square Root Day!

This only happens 9 times in a century, which is pretty special. I know it made me smile to think of it. (I hope it doesn't make you smile too much to think of me smiling at the thought of Square Root Day!)

Baby Nora is growing

I've added this picture from 2006, just in case there's any doubt the girls are sisters.
