Well, today was a great day here at the Brown household. For starters, I only work until noon on Fridays, so I always look forward to having a longer afternoon off. However, earlier this week, our computer crashed, and we found out that the hard drive is dead, which means that we lost everything, including our pictures and videos. Luckily, I had been good and had most of the pictures uploaded to Snapfish.com, so I think that we are only missing the ones from this past November through March. And I just uploaded the pictures I took today and was surprised to see that I had forgotten to clear off my memory card, and we still had all of the pictures from this month back until Easter!!! Yea!! Also, it works out that I happened to start blogging last November, so most of my very favorite pictures I have here. All in all, the largest loss is my Christmas card address list. I don't think I had ever printed out a hard copy. Oh, well. So, if you get a chance, please email me your mailing address to cjohnsgirl@gmail.com, and I will start building it back again. Yea, a new project!
So, anyway, Lane finally decided what computer he wanted to get and we got it this afternoon. Not much has been going on with us this week other than that. My biggest news is that I spent a couple of hours each night this week working on getting my garage cleaned out and organized. I had never gotten this done since we have been here in Kilgore, and there were those boxes left in there that really just needed to be either thrown out or put in the attic. So, I got this finished last night around 1:00, and I immediately pulled both of our cars in it to celebrate that accomplishment. It's probably weird, but having a garage and not using it to park in is a big pet peeve of mine, and I'm been driving myself crazy for almost nine months now with my mess.
Other than that, we've just been having fun playing outside and listening to Dane develop new catch phrases. He's starting saying, "Are you ready?" when we start to put his shoes on before we leave the house. And, the other day, he started saying, "Come on!", like it's such a chore for him when we're trying to get him to do something, like eat when he's not in the mood. I think Lane and I say that a lot or something, who knows. He's really turned into quite the hugger the past couple of weeks, too, and he now shares his hugs with me and not just with Mr. Monkey and C. John, our cat. That's the best of all!
Tonight before dinner (I know - I'm totally setting a bad precedent), Dane and I decided to eat an ice cream cone and go outside for a few more minutes while Lane got the grill heated up for burgers. We've just started letting him handle his own ice cream cones and popcicles, so my rule is that we have to eat them outside (less mess to clean up). I love how deliberate and neat he is with his cone, except for on his mouth, of course. Anyway, these pictures are from tonight.
