Still alive and kicking

My computer was down. My motherboard passed away. sniff, sniff.
But it left me completely lost and distant from the POSTING part of the internet.
I checked MySpace, I checked Facebook, and I'd even check the blogs, but NOOOO posting. I LOVE pictures. And I LOVE my kids - so I want to show you pictures of everybody. I have to admit - it is MUCH easier to upload pictures to MySpace. So that's where Little Ethan's pics are right now. Check out my MySpace page. On top of that - pictures are still NOT on my "home" confuser. They are on the kids' computer and still on my camera.

News:
~ Ethan Andrew was born July 28th on his Grandpa Brown's birthday. Fitting. Little E weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces. Ethan and Shannon have had some health struggles but both are recovering and all is well with Shannon nursing Little E. Leith has been a helpful Daddy, but still not the most helpful hubby. He could beat us all out on stubbornness. Hey, it's a gift.
~ I got a new camera. I splurged for the newest Canon Rebel SLR Digital 12.2 megapixels only because my 35mm passed on. (talk about technical errors!) And some of the pictures are too large to upload onto My Space. Devin wanted to show me how to adjust the size, but I was still too doggone frustrated without having my "home" computer up and running.
~ I AM back on my own, personal confuser this week. But my pics aren't back in here. Have to do the hard drive transfer thingie and I just don't want to sit here that long. I did sit here on the phone to get new activation codes for my software. THAT was irritating. At least Creative Memories doesn't send you to India. The people who are at CM speak ENGLISH as their FIRST language...though it is with a Canadian accent. Eh?
~ I'm taking a few minutes to update you and then I'm outta here. Have the 1000 customer crop tomorrow at the fairgrounds and I have to be there NOW.
~ No new pictures for you today. ;-)

But if you can pray for these few:
~ my Nana. Health problems leading her to a one-week hospital stay. She's home but problems between her physician and hospital doctors have left her OFF of all medications. High blood pressure is our primary concern. And we'd really like for her to be on a "mood stabilizer" as her last ER visit had her discharged with the bottom-line being that she was fretting herself into bad health. She has an appt with a new physician on Tuesday.
~ New news today. Nana's brother (60 years old) just diagnosed with bone cancer. I don't believe he is saved. And the outlook is not good. They have put him on morphine already and are setting up a hospital bed in his home.

Again, Nana is worrying herself sick over her brother Mike.

~ travels. My parents, kids, and I are travelling to and from Orlando frequently because of my grandmother's health. And I have offered to go to Maryland with Nana to see her brother if I am needed.

So, yeah, it's been pretty slow around here. You know, the usual.

Hugs to you all!
