A couple of weeks ago my computer went on the blink. I was afraid I might have lost all of my photos, especially after what had happened with the laptop on New Year’s Eve. Well, David was able to back-up all of my pictures and other important things, but we still cannot get my computer to boot up properly. So, when we finally figure out what is going on and get it up and running, I will definitely post recent photos, including some of Lanie swimming. It really is a sight to see!

Other than the computer issues, things are going fairly well here. David made it through another round of lay-offs at his company, but is now in a different position. He really liked the position he was in, so we will have to see how things go. I am actually enjoying my new job a lot more than I thought I would and seriously considering continuing in this position beyond this school year. I think I may be much more suited to this than either of my prior teaching positions.

And as for Lanie, the one you all come here to read about, she is doing great! She continues to amaze us on a daily basis with the things she says and does. She is definitely two, and makes sure we know that every day. There is a lot of saying “NO” and “It’s not fair!”, which are probably her two favorit things to say right now. We are still dealing with her crawling into bed with us every night in the middle of the night. Neither one of us wants to get out of bed to put her back in hers, and I think we both kind of like her being there to tell you the truth. We’ve tried to start potty training, but Lanie really isn’t interested yet, so we will just give it time. I guess since she seems to be doing everything else ahead of what is expected, we can let her slide on this one thing for a while!

I will try to post more later and hopefully my computer will be up and running soon so I can post those pictures!
