technical difficulties

I had some pictures I wanted to post, but my laptop, sadly, has died.  :( 

It's been on its last leg for awhile now, but I think it's finally bit the dust this time. 

Anyway, I can't stand the way the editing software works on our desktop, so I'm not going to post the pictures right now because it's taking me forever. 

Sorry.

I'll be back on Wednesday with a first day of school post, sure to illicit tears (from my mom, anyway--probably not from anyone else, unless you're sending a kindergartener off to school this year, too!).

Oh, and here's a gem from Rachel:

Rachel:  Daddy, do you know what Mommy says she's going to do all day when I go to kindergarten on the first day?

Daddy:  What?

Rachel:  She said she's going to cry on your elbow all day.

(So, of course, I said "shoulder," but I think the picture of crying on someone's elbow is quite comical!)
