Losses

It's been a rough week here at Casa Peterson.

My mac hard drive failed (ahem, the laptop is ONLY 6 months old - ARGHH) and I lost 6 months of photos of my precious Bella and Mark (oh, and the rest of my family). I am slowly rebuilding some of it from blog posts, flickr uploads, and random emails and portable drives.

So don't forget to back up your stuff (even if it's a new machine and you THINK you have time).

That, coupled with another sad event that I wont go into here (everyone is safe and healthy, don't worry), has me in a complete funk.

I just need to breathe in and breathe out, and focus on the good things in my life.

They were only photos - I still have the memories in my head.

Back tomorrow with a more lively (and less somber) post.

A Message from the Easter Bunny...

I don't usually post too many photos of Bella on the site, but this one was too good not to share.

Bella's school is really good about crafts and activities for all the holidays. This came home with her yesterday.

I almost cried. Where did that little baby of mine go?

I wish there was a little pause button on her to capture this moment for a little while longer. She's still small enough that I can carry her around fairly easily, but she's big enough to do most things on her own now.

She's transitioning out of the terrible 3's and has been awfully sweet lately. She even cleaned her room last night (I almost fell off my chair when I saw her doing it). I wont count on seeing a repeat performance of that.
