Relief

Somewhere along the line the external hardrive got misplaced.  I remembered using it, but not when.  I believe it moved when I moved the office out of the bedroom.  And I have looked and looked.  That harddrive contained ALL the digital pictures from about 2008.
I tried very hard not to worry too much about it.  It had to turn up eventually.
Well nine months later it has.  It was in the garage.  I am greatly relieved.  I know I would survive without all those pictures, but it would be sad.  All the Elizabeth days documented.  The first years of the littles.  And all the other pictures.  Dave had given me that harddrive just to store the pictures.  That way when a computer crashes I won't have lost the pictures.
So we spent a good chunk of the evening looking at the videos Papa had made.  The littles would ask where is Papa.  Well he was filming.  Love hearing his voice.  So did they.  They were amazed at how little they were and how much they have changed.  I find it amazing when they can recognize that.
So happy.
