The dependence that I have on my computer, is never more apparent than when something goes wrong.  Last week I lost my hard drive and the majority of it’s contents—this is the reason I have had a temporary lapse in the blogs.  Ironically, it was an unprecedented busy week—in addition to the 4th of July, the kids had a mini day trip to Auntie Noelle’s, two family gatherings with their cousins, a kindergarten reunion, and an evening at Grandma and Grandpa’s .  Given the schedule, as well as Franny and Cole also having two sleep overs together, we ended the week exhausted.  Very happy, but exhausted! Here’s just a few of our memories—and these barely scratch the surface!

A pile of cousins, and more cousins!
