WooooHooooo!!!

My computer is up and running, thanks to my sweet husband who spent HOURS Thursday and Friday evening on the phone with Dell's tech support. They had him try tons of different things and couldn't get anything to work. They finally gave up and said they would send us a new hard drive. So, as Tim was giving them the information for delivery he clicked on this recovery thing that they had tried before and hadn't gotten anywhere with.....and literally as he said good-bye to the tech support, the computer came up. We still don't know exactly what the issue was. We've run every diagnostic scan, adaware, malware remover, etc. that my brother suggested. I don't know if one of those found and fixed the problem or what. Tim called tech support back last night and canceled the new hard drive. We were still having issues with Internet Explorer, which isn't a HUGE problem considering that I have 4 other web browsers installed on this computer, but it is my browser of choice. So this morning I finally went in and totally reset it -- which meant that I lost all of my presets, but my favorites are still here. And it seems to be working great now! I'm just going to have to try to remember all of my passwords that it had stored. We've upped the security on the computer and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have any more problems.

AND, I can post pictures again! :) Which may not excite you, but it excites me anyway. These two are from yesterday evening.

I really need to take just Tristen and Jarek out and get more pictures of them.
