Keeping Busy

So, I finally decided to replace the queen-sized bed in Hannah's room for a twin bed to give her some more space to play in her room. Tim and I were looking online for beds we liked and found this one at Pottery Barn Kids:

I love the furniture and decorations at Pottery Barn, but they are nearly always overpriced. The bed at Pottery Barn is about $550 plus tax and shipping. I wasn't willing to pay that much, but I thought it would be fun to try to make one.

I spent just under $100, and here is the result:



Although it's not quite as cute as the original, I like the result!

Crash!

So, I'm more than a little upset right now. A week and a half ago our computer crashed. On Friday I received a call letting me know that the hard drive was irreparably damaged and would have to be replaced. The last time I backed up my computer was almost exactly a year ago, so pretty much anything since then is lost. I only have a handful of pictures of Jake now, and seeing the pictures of Hannah from a year ago that I just downloaded brought some tears to my eyes, because she is so much bigger now! The ironic thing is that Tim and I had just been talking about registering with an online back-up service. If anybody has any pictures of my kids within the last year, will you please email them to me?

And learn from my mistake and back up your computer.
