So the hard drive in our desk top crashed. John was rearranging our office, and apparently just the act of moving our old computer was enough for it to crash and die. I can't say I'm completely shocked however. We found this computer in the gutter. John was the Elders Quorum Pres.in our old ward, and on one of his many Saturdays of moving some family, he noticed that they took their desktop and just dumped it by the street for someone to pick up. He said "Your not going to use this?" The guy laughed and said it was so old and slow. We'll John picked it up and carried it home at the end of day and we've been using it for the past 4 years. In fact it got John through PA school quite nicely! We are debating whether to replace the hard drive (not super expensive) or if its not really worth it as it is SO SO old and slow, and this is just the beginning of problems to come. My Internet access is now limited to 20-40 minute snippets with John's work laptop, I snatch it away for a few minutes when he comes home from work and before he has to begin his nightly hours and hours of patient charting. I will say my house is a lot cleaner...
But, even though I can't post pictures I wanted to do a quick update and write down some of the funny things my girls have said recently before I forget:
"Mommy, you'd better hold my hand as we cross this street. Otherwise a car will hit me and kill me, you'll have to bury me in the backyard, and I'll go up to Heaven and you'll be so sad and crying. You'll cry and say, "oh I'm so so sad, I miss my sweet Edie Bean!" So you should really hold my hand ok?"
-Edie
"When I grow up, I'll live next door to you and come over during the day and help you make rolls. You can watch my kids while I draw pictures for you to hang on the fridge" -Clara
"Will you turn my peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a reindeer shape today? Everyone has cool shaped sandwich's, and I'm just like sitting there with my square sandwich. It's embarrassing"
-Clara
"You'll fix your hair before you pick me up from school right? And wear regular pants, not your pajama pants" -Clara
"Can Santa really see me when I'm sleeping? We have curtains". -Edie
Sam doesn't really say a whole lot besides one word at a time right now. However he is developing a lot of personality. He loves to dance. He likes to hit, and throw all the time! I'm always sitting there stunned when he does because my girls just didn't do that... He is a sweet little man and I love having a boy. There's just alot of extra energy there....
And last but not least, I wanted to add this blog post I just read, and I absolutely LOVED. If you are a woman then you should definitely read this! I found it on facebook, a friend of mine had shared it. And I'm so glad she did:)
