I am Thankful...

for the Internet. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would post some things that remind be about being thankful. The Internet is a great resource and you can find almost anything that you want, and definitely some things that you don't want. Whether it be something to buy, or information, the Internet has it all. Last night I downloaded a bunch of pictures from the kids birthdays and our trip to Disneyworld, and then I deleted the memory card for the next use. After browsing through the pictures, I noticed I was missing some. I realized I had no pictures of the kids first day at school or Danielle's 2nd birthday. I was devastated! I sulked all night about it. Then today at church I had the idea to check the Internet to see if you could recover pictures from a memory card. I know that even when something is deleted on a computer it is really still there, but I had never experienced this with a memory card before.

So I googled, and guess what? You can! I am thrilled that these precious memories will not be lost nor, the photographic proof that they happened. I love writing down these things so that I can look back at the special events, learning moments, and funny stories. I am thankful for the opportunity to write these down for my children to cherish. I am thankful that the Internet helps us do all these things.

Here are just some of the pictures that would have been lost.
