FINALLY..an update!

so we finally have our computer back. a long story short....vista WAS indeed corrupt. darn that vista!! our pictures were recovered, BUT our computer is not quite the same. we still have to take it in two more times for more "testing" and "intervention"...whatever that means. but the good news is that we can at least check our mail and post pictures of the kids!!! HOORAY!! so enough about the silly computer here are those beautiful children.....vivian has finally learned to smile for the camera. here she is with bauer saying cheese (and not the super cheese of previous, cathy!)

i love how bauer is so intent upon watching his big sister....which is apparently EXACTLY the way vivian likes it! here she is giving him a bit of sisterly advice....

but maybe she thinks he ought to pay better attention? because apparently it is VERY important advice!! ;)

...well all is well that ends well! fyi...all is back to normal as far as our health is concerned (or as normal as we get around here!!) i am the only one still on inhalers....but no worries, a mom with a healthy family is a super happy mom! :)
