Sorry I haven’t returned calls or emails lately…

Just call us the “sick house”. Abby has green snot rolling out of her nose. Hannah caught Abby’s cold. We had to take her to the dr. on friday – she was throwing up and pooping blood It apprarently came from her nose being dried out due to all the congestion. Still pretty scary. I woke up yesterday with a 102.5 fever I fear it may be the first sign of Mastitis SIGH. And then today, Jamey woke up with the same crap that Abby and Hannah have. Wanna come over for a visit?

I’ll keep you posted. Hopefully we are all well soon.

We left the house as a family of four for the first time today. Hannah had her first doctor appointment. She is doing well and has gained 3.5 ounces since we left the hospital on Saturday. Our next scheduled visits are at 1 and 2 months.

My good friend Lynn started knitting last year. Her first item was well, usable. But since then she has become a knitting rock star! She made a beautiful hat and afghan for Hannah. And with the little extra yarn she had – she made a nice little hat for one of Abby’s babies. Thanks so much Lynn! It is all just beautiful!

No longer B-R-O-K-E, and now it is IMPROVED!

I think things are back. I know the 2006 pictures for Abby aren’t fixed yet, but that should be it.
It appears things went bad when I tried to create squared thumbnails and we uploaded pictures of a different aspect ratio from my mom’s camera. I have shutoff squared thumbnails and added squared “frames” to keep the look clean.

Also look for the “new” and “updated” labels to show up in the albums. The “new” indiciates the picture or album are new, and the “updated” indicates an item inside an album has been added or changed.

B-R-O-K-E!

Well, I performed a security “upgrade” on our Gallery application this morning. That was a bad mistake. Even worse, the backout process has made the gallery stop working. I am working to get this corrected, and then I will work to get nightly, or at least weekly, snapshots of the website for easier backup.

I had this fantastic idea for a new MT. In the end… I don’t really like it. Sigh… oh well. It has panels that velcro into it… so you can have many different looks with only one real structure of an MT. Here are the pics… Maybe I’ll find a panel fabric that I really like?
