computer woes multiplied

so...i've been having major internet issues. times when my computer will connect and keep a strong signal, are spotty at best. i've been having these issues for months, but it's just gotten ridiculous in the past 3 weeks or so. i know it's my computer because michael's work computer is perfect. stinky computer.

well, to make matters worse, michael was carrying my laptop upstairs the other night to print out the labels for our christmas cards. before he even got upstairs, i heard him turn around and come back down. he had a very sheepish look on his face and admitted that he broke my computer screen. it's cracked and you can't see a thing on it.

if you could see me typing this post, you'd be rolling on the floor before you know it. i have my computer hooked up to our hdmi cable in the closet in our family room. i'm sitting on the floor there, back against the wall, computer on my lap, trying hard to focus on the tv screen across the room. yes, i'm typing on my laptop that is connected to my tv screen. don't believe me? it's true. sad, but true.

update: this post was written about 2 weeks ago. right when i was about to publish the post, something else went wrong and i couldn't even see what i was doing on the tv. now...i have my laptop connected to our gigantic, 60 inch upstairs. it's quite funny looking.

for uncle mattie...

hooray, hoorah...it's mom and her camera...

get that camera out of my face, woman!

i'm too big for a little ol' baby swing, didn't ya know?! i much prefer my big boy bouncer!

all warm and cozy in my monkey suit for a walk around downtown. nice!

i miss you, uncle mattie and can't wait to see you at christmas time! i love you!

computer troubles

i haven't been posting because something is wrong with my computer. i can rarely get an internet connection and when i do, i can't ever do anything.

i've been trying all day and was just able to actually get to my posting page.

keep your fingers crossed that we get this thing figured out.

santa claus is comin' to town

sit. stay. roll over.

well, we've got one of those down.

michael rolled over early last week. he did his first roll over on his own, but wouldn't really do it again until you let him hold your finger so he knew what you wanted. :) he's doing it all on his own now from back to tummy and tummy to back. he is always so proud of himself but would really love it if he could get his hands out from under him right away.

in this video, after he rolled over, i tried to get his arms up and found that he had his hands clasped together under his tummy. silly guy! this was taken on thanksgiving day.
