I Survived!

Brad went backpacking this weekend with some guys from our Sunday School Class. He left really early on Friday morning and should be home around six tonight. I stayed at home all by myself with my two children. I tried to get my mom to come and stay with us, but for some strange reason she decided to go on her only vacation of the summer. Sometimes people can be so selfish! :) Some you might be thinking, "SO?", but you should know that I have never done that before and I was pretty trepidatious. We survived, though. On top of that, I was early to church this morning. I always had a feeling that it was Brad who slowed up our Sunday morning routine and it turned out I was right! I didn't plan on doing anything this weekend and that is pretty much what we did. It was kind of nice to not have any expectations for yourself and then feel very satisfied when you meet them all.

In other news, our computer is still dead. I say dead because Friday a week ago, it crashed. I wish there was some way to make a word look like an onomatopoeia sounds. If there was, you would see a small mushroom cloud where the word "crashed" was. It was horrible. I am still making myself not freak out about the fact that all of my pictures from the time Eli was born to the present were on that hard drive. I have never backed them up. NEVER. We gave the computer to a friend of ours who was going to try to save the data. It didn't work so now we have given it to a company called DataSafe. Hopefully, (and I mean I have really prayed about this...several times) the company will be able to salvage all the pictures. Feel free to join me in this prayer. In this case I wish I was like my friend, Stephanie. She would never have let all her pictures go un-backed up all this time. She would have had a schedule and all of her precious pictures would be protected. Unfortunately, I am just me.

And the really big news of the week...Phoebe has FINALLY started rolling over. I was getting a little worried that she never would. I think she might be lazy. The child really likes to be held...all the time. She has no interest in learning how to sit up using her arms as support, or roll over, or lift her head up when she does roll over. She is way too laid back for all that work. I'll try to post some pictures soon, but it will take our regular computer (as opposed to Brad's laptop) getting a new hard drive from Dell on Monday. Just know that both of my children are pretty darn cute!
