Call me old school, but I would WAY rather take pictures, and get a paper copy of each of them.  Micah will fight me to the death on this, but I am too worried about losing my pictures and my back up pictures.  None of these calamities has happened yet, but I did get a little sampling of what it would be like.  From the middle of December until now, my computer (or so I thought) was giving me problems.  I still took my pictures, and figured that when I got my computer straightened out, I could get my pictures uploaded.  Unfortunately for me…..it was my stinking memory card that was bunk.  The card that carried an entire month of our lives is faulty, and who knows if I will ever get the pictures extracted from it.  It doesn’t seem like a month is that big of a deal, but when I looked through the photos, a lot happened! (Yes….I can see the pictures on my camera….just not on any one of the six computers I tried to upload them to.)

Say hasta la vista to Christmas and New Years.  Too bad I can’t show for the bonfires we had with Brit, J and Royal.  Or the first black eye Scout has ever had.  Too bad little Icka’s videos of growing up are in digital heaven.  I am sad to report that Scout’s entire potty training experience is long gone (including his bubblegum dingle berry which was priceless).  We won’t be reminiscing about the time Scout got sopping wet at Pretend City, and then threw sand all over himself.  Ickity is full of tricks, and I will have to retake her “talking on the phone”.  How about the time I went in to check on Scout in the tub and he was making a bridge over the water because it was too hot….the exact same way I make my bridge —- gone.  The list goes on and on, and it just solidifies this one fact…….Digital is for the birds!  (Although I do like the fact that I can edit, retake, delete and do a bazillion other things with digital.  But if you want to hear that song and dance….catch me on another day!)
