I'm Back
Ah, after two and a half months we have our computer and the DSL is up and running. It's a long story but after having to ship the computer we ordered to the States (because they wouldn't send it to Germany) and have family ship it to us (which we paid a fortune for) they stopped it in Koln (Cologne). Certain papers hadn't been filled out and they wouldn't let my husband send them - he had to go to Koln to pick it up or it would be sent back to the States. So yesterday we made a day out of it, picked up the computer and took Jack on his first zoo trip. I am so happy to have internet access! I don't think it has ever mattered more to have this blog and be able to look at family and friends blogs.
These nerdy photos are from the camera on our computer. I haven't quite figured out how to put up the pictures from our main camera so it may take a few days.
While I was working on this I got Jack out of bed because for some reason he won't sleep tonight.
You can kind of see his two new teeth here.
You'll have to endure me being a dork experimenting with the camera. It doesn't take much to entertain me these days.
Photo of elephant baby due in less than four weeks.
I'm still in shock that I have a computer - so happy, so grateful.

The pictures look great, I love the photos of the house, it looks super cool.
Jack has gotten so big, and I look forward to seeing the new baby.
Hope everything keeps getting better, which it probably will, keep blogging and take care.

Posted by: lynnp at July 18, 2006 06:55 PMLove the pixs of you, you look like a model! And the fam pixs, adorable Jack and handsome hubby. I posted last night but don't see it. hopefully it will come through. I checked my blog to day and saw that you left comments!!! THANKS so much. I hate it when I don't get any. Glad you enjoyed my pixs. Thanks for the prayers for our trip.
Love U, Deitra
Wow! It's been a long time in coming but we are so glad the computer FINALLY made it! We have missed the updated photos. Aunt Jean sends her thanks for the photos you sent. She showed them off at family reunion last weekend like the proud great-great aunt that she is. Seemed funny for us not to be there to show off pictures ourselves. First time ever for us to miss. Leave for Mexico in the morning so this is a busy day. Busy, busy but excited to get to go back.
Kisses to Jack, our love to all Mom
Woohoo! It meant SO much to have email and internet access when we were overseas. I never did figure out international dialing. I was so glad to always have my mom and sis just a quick typed note away.
