birthdays

I'm far from getting caught up on all the things that have happened in our lives over the last couple of years.  oh well, I'll just try to remember to add something sometimes.

just when I was feeling like I should add some to my records I had a MASSIVE computer crash.  not the end of the world kind, but it was a very big inconvenience.  something happened to corrupt a boot file on my computer.  not only that but my motherboard could not see that I had a hard drive connected.
I spent a few hours freaking out and feeling ill.  but then I reminded myself that I have all my photos saved on a separate, external drive and so I wasn't losing years of baby pictures and memories.
I can access my email on my laptop.  I can connect to the internet via other means.
the biggest pain in the rear was that my outlook with all my appointments, contacts, and bill pay information is on my main computer.  Also my photo editing program is used much easier on my desktop computer vs. my laptop - I didn't want to have to install my photoshop on my laptop only because of it being annoying.  (main computer has a much larger monitor)

after working on the problem for a short time, Tim discovered that everything on my hard drive was intact.  YAY!  that helped me keep calm for the next 6 days.
Very long story short.  He fixed it for me!  He's so nice to me :)
next problem was this morning!  I had to re-install my photo editing software anyway  because of the work required to fix my boot problems.
well, it's fixed now too!  so now I can show you pictures of the birthdays.
Here goes....

Tim had one 'girlfriend'.  that had better be me  ;)

that's the only picture of Tim's birthday that I am going to show.  he doesn't usually like for me to take his picture.
On to Ronan's birthday
I did not get a picture of him just posing for his birthday.  I've slacked on that over the last couple of years.
Ronan had been pestering me to go to the park for weeks.  the previous week he let me know that he invited his friend to come for his birthday.  She had her heart so set on doing something with him on his birthday that I decided that the park seemed like the best idea.

here the kids are playing with Mickey at the park. 

I massively touched up this picture because he was so danged cute, but he had a very dirty face.

Ronan has been wearing it daily and sometimes nightly ever since.

Ronan had a great day!  he was so excited from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed.
the weird thing for me is that I'm sure he's older than 7.  the dates prove me wrong but I could have sworn he was older than that.

almost 2 years have gone by

why do I always do this? so many things have happened in the past two years.  I just feel so silly that I haven't kept up on the blog.  ...
