A fabulous day and a funny story…

*Before I begin, a quick note.. I will be out of town until Tuesday evening, so please email Erin if you need anything and we will get back to you as soon as possible!*

A few weeks ago I had the honor of spending the day with one of my favorite families and the did not disappoint!  Thus was baby boy’s turn to shine, two years old now and full of fire!

We started the morning with a quick breakfast, and after a mouthful of donuts he was good to go! (bedhead notwithstanding)

After that, it was off to sports skills class to warm up those muscles…

On to lunch.  French fries dipped in ice cream, why not?

Home again to play quietly in the playroom with mom, dad, and big sis

And finally down for a well-earned nap.  Don’t you just want to squeeze those cheeks?

And now to the funny story.  Funny NOW, but not the last three weeks.  The next morning after our fabulous 8 hour session, I plugged my memory card into the computer to download all the fabulous pictures I was sure we’d captured.  Nothing. Tried a different card reader. Nothing. Tried a different card, all was fine. But my computer thought the card.. the 6 gig memory card with nearly a thousand pictures on it… was BLANK. Funny, right? A trip to Wolf Camera, where they spend a week running data recovery programs and are able to produce about a hundred images. On to the Geek Squad at Best Buy, who not only say they can’t do anything, they advise me it’s a lost cause completely. On to a few dozen or so more recovery software trials and heroic attempts by friends and family to fix it, all of which are completely lost.  I had all but resolved myself to throwing myself at the feet of my dear clients with the apology, their entire day had been wasted, and to beg for another chance. Misery. Finally, the bright idea (from my brother the computer genius!) to put it back in the camera, plug the camera in, and transfer from there. Eureka, we have pictures! All of them!

So as I said… funny NOW!  Now that we have all of these great pictures to share, and so many more to fill their book.. and YES, the corrupt card is now at the bottom of the trash bin.. good riddance!

Hope you all have a great weekend, as I said at the top, I will be out of town until Tuesday so phone calls and emails will be returned as quickly as possible either by Erin or me on my return. Thanks!
