My computer blue screened back in 2005 and completely crashed so I was a bit panicked because I had recently finished the third collage for this year, I just needed to get the back graphic finished up and I wasn't looking forward to doing that again, not to mention all the other files that would be lost in a crash. Thankfully Edward was able to get it working again when we came home and the first thing I did was back up the collage! I've gotten pretty good about backing things up regularly but just hadn't gotten that backed up yet. Computers sure are a nuisance sometimes! I won't be on much though until after the new year as we're having a bit of a holiday. We're looking forward to a new year and I wish all the best to all of you in the coming new year.

Lambs and goats are special to me and remind me of Jacob because of the little sounds he used to make, and I have collected stuffed animals for him since shortly after he died, so the lamb was an extra special gift to me.
The tree is just beautiful and came with 9 little tear shaped clear jewels to hang on its branches. Nine was the perfect number because there are nine people in my family right now, not counting Jacob, there are nine of us here who are missing Jacob. There's Edward and I, and the children - Jesse, Alyssa, Caitlin, Chelsea, Lilianna, Danielle and Clara. There's a tear for each of us to hang on the tree. The tree also came with a little card that has a beautiful poem on it.
The Tree of Life by Lisa O. Engelhardt
If I could grow a tree for you, I'd water it with tears, And nurture it with memories gathered through the years
Grounded in firm values this tree would find its roots And from its legacy of love would grow the sweetest fruits.
Ever branching outward, its canopy would swell, A living, loving tribute to a life lived full and well.
Finally, its leaves would reach the floor of heaven, and then I'd climb up on its branches... just to hold you once again.
and on the back of the card it says:
May this poem be a tribute to your living love, and this gift connect you in spirit with the one you have lost.
I'm so grateful for the special gifts in memory of my little man and I hope others had a good experience with the Holiday of Angels this year too. ]]>http://www.sidsfamilies.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071213-1258322007-12-13T00:00:00Z2007-12-13T00:00:00ZNursery UpdatesCory Antoine, Jr Buffinet

I'm hopeful they'll somehow be able to fit all the pictures into the video. I sent in photos for 132 babies. I am so anxious to see this!

Well.. now that I've gone to check, I remembered that I checked already and realized that I don't have a backup of the database .. BUT .. I do still have all the emails that the guestbook sent last year as people made their entries.. so I can manually enter all the data again to restore it.
