Yes, we're still alive--and probably not any busier than anyone else, so I have no excuse for not writing. I expect everyone reading this blog already knows all our news, but just to be complete I'll put here that I'm expecting a baby at the beginning of August. I'm very excited that we'll be going in for the ultrasound on Monday. I have been very impatient to find out what color of quilt to make, and whether I should knit little lacy sweaters or little stripy sweaters. Piper really wants a girl. Owen really wants to give the baby away. (I am still talking to him about this--I think he will be a good big brother when the time comes. If I can convince him that babies really don't cry ALL the time, or destroy EVERYTHING in the house.) Quinlan doesn't care either way as long as he doesn't have to move out of his bedroom.
My only other comment for today is, thank goodness for blogs. I think the pictures on this blog may be all there are left of my photos for 2008. Due to a computer virus and a badly timed accident with the external hard drive, I've lost both the original files and the backups of my photos. (ARGHHH! to say the least.) The guys at Hero Computers are still working to see if the hard drive can be reanimated, but I'm not optimistic. I guess we go to double backups now. Maybe I will actually print out some photos this year--what a concept. At least Mike takes pictures too, (and keeps them on a different computer) so all is not lost.
