i found out this morning that the harddrive of the ol' computer can not be saved. i don't care about the computer, however, quite a few tears have shed today thinking of all the photos that are gone. hazel & anders baby pics, videos of firsts (like walking), Ukraine pictures, & a lot more heartbreaking things like that. I'll get over it & go crazy tracking down twitter & facebook pictures & stalking my aunt for the pictures she took of very important days:: the day hazel was born, the day anders was born, the day lena came home.
without a computer to load pictures onto, i have put away the real camera. since I began mothering by taking a million pictures of eliot, and due to a strange constant feeling that I will forget these chaotic days as soon as they pass...i must snap pics of my little ones. so, thank you, instagram, for filling in... my phone has acted as a great substitute.
below are some fun ones from lately but before checking those out, please please check out this link!
this is the blog of lena's speech therapist, who is not only one of my heros, but is also one of my favorite people. she has God's heart for the weak & marginalized in Ukraine & she heads back over there next week. please read this & give support to these remarkable women as they travel so far from home to be the hands & feet of Jesus to beautiful children...support them with your prayers or pocketbooks or encouraging comments on their blog or anyway you can think:)

from your aunt who yes indeed has ALL the pics she has taken of your kids, just let me know when you are ready and I will send them to you. Keep the disk I put them on in a safe place...that's your archive. For the future, buy a little external hard drive and back up the pictures and videos on your computer. That's what I do and unless (or until) my little hard drive fails, i can still find my stuff.
