After my case of spring fever writer's block, we went on our camping trip to Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. It was wonderful...everyone had a great time! We can't wait to go back again. The waterfall was magnificent and I did take LOTS of pictures as promised. In fact, over that 5 day trip, I took over 160 pictures! And that was after I deleted some!
However, the most horrible, dreaded thing that I could ever imagine happening, happened. Our computer crashed. I lost FOUR YEARS worth of pictures!!!! All of Abby's infancy pictures, all of our special occasions...including our camping trip, everything...gone! I literally cried and mourned the loss of my pictures for several days. I am still devastated just thinking about it. But I suppose time has a way of healing old wounds...and the loss of pictures...by creating new memories. This past weekend, I got out my camera for the first time since the crash. It was Perry's birthday and also Memorial Day. Although I still cry inside for the irreplaceable photos, I look forward to creating more. Below is one I took yesterday of Abby playing in her pool. Oh, and now I have a new obsession...digital scrapbooking! I'm sure you will be seeing lots of my creations in the near future! Ha, ha!
