Isn't technology great!

We bought a digital camera a year or so before Katrina was born and we took a lot of photos with it, because, well... you can! The year that we moved into our house and I was pregnant with Katrina, we took a LOT of photos. We downloaded them all onto our computer. We bought a CD writer and a memory stick so that we could back up all the photos. Katrina was born and we downloaded the photos and then when we tried to back up the photos, the computer crashed and burned and died a horrible death! All the photos from Katrina's birth... gone.

We were sick! We emailed everyone and asked them to send back emails that we had sent with photos in them, so we were able to get a few of the photos back, but only about a third of them.

Now, finally, technology has caught up with us! Kevin bought an external hard drive case and was able to make a newer computer believe that the old hard drive was basically a memory stick and was able to retrieve and copy all of the photos for most of 2005! It was such a wonderful relief to be able to see ALL the photos from the day of Katrina's birth, including the two videos that we took of her only minutes after she was born!

Technology is a wonderful thing!
