We enjoy "play-time" every morning at 6:45 while daddy is sleeping. Some mornings I wonder how he sleeps through all the giggles!
The Good News: We are back on-line!
The Bad News: The storm did indeed fry our computer, modem and printer. Apparently, lightning hit one block below us and also one block above us. FYI - it wasn't the outlet juice that fried our computer - it was the telephone line. Janet (Jeremy's Aunt who fixed our computer) said that out of the ten computers she fixed last year from lightning strikes, ALL of them fried through a phone line. This is why our expensive surge protector did nothing for us. Next time we are unplugging the DSL when a storm comes rolling through. So, to make a long story short: Printer = Toast. Computer = Fixed. Oh, and not only did Janet fix our computer, but she gave it a tune up and now it is "lightning fast!" (no pun intended.) She did a great job - if any of you out there are looking for a good computer person she has great rates and really knows her stuff! Just send Jeremy or Emily an email and we will get you her number.
That's all for now. I'm off to bed.

SO glad your computer and modem are fixed - had no idea it could be damaged from the phone line! Makes sense, but they never tell you about that! :-P Evan is so adorable - I love his pictures! I can't wait until Elsie is old enough to really play and interact more like Evan can. She's on her way, but what a cutie you have on your hands! Looking forward to our walk this week (although it might rain! - let's hope not!)
