But I think the computer gods were smiling down on me (or perhaps it’s because I *just* went through an external hard drive failure this summer), because we’ve been able to recover from this one pretty well. I’ve become a pro at backing up (all of my client pics are safe) and the guys at Apple were very helpful, too (for once, I’m glad I bought the extended warranty).
Two things kept me in check during this little crisis:
#1 My kids. Evidently, the world doesn’t stop for them when Mommy is having panic attacks. Amry was so sweet to serve me up some delicious tea yesterday. I love that she loves to pretend.
#2 Our first full-fledged, actual, real-life family photo session (that I almost considered canceling in light of my meltdown) with Bonnie — or as Amry likes to call her, Miss Bunny Rabbit. I *reaaaaaallly* didn’t think it was wise to continue with the session as planned, but something told me that I needed it. I’m so glad we did. I’m so glad I had a good excuse to step away from my smoking computer and just be with my family for a while. And I met a new friend in the process. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the images from our evening and I’m very thankful that she helped me (unknowingly) through quite a trying time.
these photos are precious and wow she is such a mini you! so sorry about your hard drive, but glad it wasn’t so bad to recover.
I loved this post. Aren’t kids great! They are never fazed by what ‘mommy considers a big deal!!!’
I’m so glad your computer is fixed.
Where did you get that kitchen set??! I’ve been searching high and low for one for my daughter. That one is perfect! Darling pictures.
I’m betting that is a handmade by Virgil kitchen set. hugs Michele……it will be ok 😉
