what a week!!!

What a week for the Bogers!

we had a computer hard drive problem...

then a blizzard...

and Lucas turned one!

First, the hard drive problem... I am not the computer expert in the family, but I can tell you that we thought we had lost all of our pictures and whatever else was on there. The only important things for me were the pictures. Now that we have a digital camera we don't print as many or as often so I knew there would be huge gaps. Richard and I were so upset! But, thanks to some anwered prayers, some freeware, and some magical skills Richard has with computers we have most everything back. Don't ask me how! We are now going to be extra careful with our pictures! All I can say is back up, back up, back up! Richard had already finished the taxes, but hadn't checked everything and sent them in yet, so he has to do them again.

The blizzard... It started snowing on Friday morning around 8 or 9 and it didn't stop until Saturday at 3 or 4. The inches of snow just piled up to about a foot. There was a lot of drifting so taking an accurate measurement was difficult! Richard shoveled the driveway 3 times and I must say our driveway was the best on the block! Richard's parents drove through the worst of the snow on Saturday and it took them 5 1/2 hours to get here instead of their usual 2 hrs. 45 minutes. It was some crazy snow in March! I went out to the grocery store Saturday night and really couldn't see much of the roads. The ramps were the worst! I even had to have someone help me pull my grocery cart to the car!

Lucas's birthday... He turned one on Sunday and we had a nice party with family, friends, and neighbors. He loved his cake and got lots of nice presents. There will be another post with pictures and details soon!
