The Crafts

I am currently typing this post on our new laptop. It somehow arrived a week and a half early and I could not be more thrilled. Now I just have to figure out all the new technology on these things. The start button is in a different location, new windows don't just open up they are now tabs which took me quite awhile to figure out. Anyway, I'm happy to be connected to the outside world again. So some updates on us. Kate is saying a few more words...kind of. She apparently really likes words that start with 'b.' This includes ball, bird and bump. She will also say yeah and no. So fun. She also has developed a love for the huge torndao slide at the park as well as the big kid swings. She is so brave. Still no electrical bids. We are almost literally waving money in front of contractors' faces and they won't return a bid. We're not even asking them to start work, we just want to know how much the job will cost us. Well I'm going to try to figure ...

Hi all! We ordered a new computer on Sunday and it should arrive about one week after Labor Day. Argh...I have to continue to be patient. Luckily Matt's brother, Mike, lives only a block and a half away from our house so I can easily bounce over there to check email while Kate hangs on me...or types for me. (As she is doing now.) Hope everyone is well. Just because I don't have regular email access doesn't mean I have disappeared. Send an email our way anytime. Or post a comment on the blog. Once we get our new computer I have a lot of great photos and stories to share. Have a great day!

Our computer was attacked by a thunderstorm Saturday night. Best Buy says it will be $75 and one week before they can even diagnose the problem. Then we'll have to pay more to fix it, not to mention wait a couple more weeks. So I will have VERY limited computer use. I will try to hop online every couple of days at my brother-in-laws house. What did we do before computers?!?!
