Don't ya just wanna go pick him up?



Ahhh my pretty boy...


Hugs resembling wrestling moves.


Ellie loves to feed James rice crispies.

After hearing not a few horror stories about Best Buy and their computer department. I was quite hesitant to turn my computer over to them for repair, but as the date of end-of-warranty got closer and closer, and the sound of my computer fan sounded more and more like a blender, blending up the insides of my computer into tiny bits ....I decided to take the risk.
The Geek Squad guy did not increase my confidence when I asked him if he wanted the power cord as well. He said "Naaaa, we don't need it, besides if you keep it, it's less stuff for us to lose." Ack!

Fortunately, after 3 weeks the computer is home safe and sound, plus they sent us home with a new power cord. Well okay, it's not really a new one, but's it's longer and nicer, and someone else's, ...since I didn't even give them one.
We'll take it back in Jan, next time we go into town. Hey.... Maybe I can trade it in for something nicer.

Update:
Had a good last 1/2 of my birthday. I won't talk about the first half, ugh! We made the most delicious homemade pizza I have ever had. Tried a new recipe with basil in the crust. It had ham and green peppers and fresh mushrooms on it, plus some Precious(that's the brand) mozzarella cheese, that very good and stringy when it was melted. Barry made me an apple pie that was most delicious, and best of all I got my piano tuned and repaired for my birthday present. Thank you everyone!

James has two teeth now, and he can hold on to and walk behind Ellie's little push car.

Barry is home for the next 3 wks, and we are very excited for Natalie to come for Christmas. Unfortunately we're all sick, but we all want to get better by Christmas so please pray for us. We need it.
