You are lost and gone forever

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling baby pictures
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, memories.

The Mac experts weren't able to recover anything off our hard drive.
There may be another way to get our pics, docs, ect. off, but it will
most likely be costly. So, for now I'm resigned to just learn from the
experience and be grateful we did get a few pictures printed of 
Elizabeth up to her 3 month birthday.

But, the good news is that we have the computer back with a new and bigger hard drive for me to fill with more pictures (that will have a nightly back up).

A word from the unwise

A few weeks ago we were talking about how we should back up all our photos to our external hard drive.

"How sad would we be if we lost all our baby pictures of Elizabeth?"

"SO SO SO sad."

But, of course, I forgot.

And OF COURSE, our iMac went mental this last Sunday. All our documents and all our pictures from the last 3 years are trapped on the malfunctioning hard-drive. Zach did his best to get it working, but nothing worked. SO SO SO sad.

We're hoping the Mac experts can recover all our special memories. They'll give us their "assessment" in a few days.

So, people...back up, back up, back up! Don't be a nerd like me.

7 Months Old

Elizabeth turned 7 months old August 10th. And here's what's new:

TEETH!

Her first two teeth came in a day apart from each other. She's figured out that if she wants to chew on her fingers, off to the side is less painful.

DRESS!

She loves her new dress Grandma Trena made...

and flower Aunt Linds made.

FOOD!

She can't get enough sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans (and adding peas this week).

This Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder is awesome! Elizabeth chews forever on whatever we put in it (frozen grapes are the favorite). Now we can actually eat dinner without having to holding her.

We totally recommend it!

MOVIES!

She's already a Harry Potter fan!

SLEEPING!

OK, so this isn't new, but it's cute. She still loves sticking her foot on her "music box" (as we call it) or out of her crib while she sleeps. These pics are from the same day. The first pics are from the morning...

and this one is from nap time. I can't imagine it being comfortable.

Happy 7 Months Lizzy! WE LOVE YOU!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

We celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on 08/08/09. It's been two amazing years! Here's to many, many, many...infinity more.

We LOVED our photographer!

and I loved my bouquet.

This was us right before we got married...

And this is us now...

(We were in Bear Lake for our anniversary with some of Zach's friends and forgot to get pics of us together.)

Yet another example of how much Elizabeth loves to use her toes as fingers.

Nap Time

Elizabeth loves this Taggies Ball. The funny thing is, although it's covered in fun tags for her to play with, she ends up with the actual "tag" the most. And she won't let go, even in her sleep.

Thanks Joan & Val for the awesome ball!
