I never thought it would happen to me. I was not trying to be irresponsible, I just never thought about it. It has never happened in the last 10 years. My computer hard drive crashed...and took all of my pictures with it. I have talked with many "experts" but it is done.
Yes, I am sad, okay devastated, but God has taught me a lot through this:
1. Always back up the important stuff.
2. Never say "that will never happen to me".
3. I am thankful that my wonderful dad printed about 50 of my scrapbook pages for me a month before this happened...including Hallie's first month of life.
4. I have all my pictures since Easter still on my memory card in my camera.
5. I am mostly up-to-date on my scrapbooks...so I still have those pictures.
6. Most of my family takes lots of pictures at the holidays.
7. I have a new and faster hard drive.
8. Not having a computer right at my finger tips helped me to realize that I was on it too much.
9. It could have been worse.
10. As most know, I love to take pictures...especially of my children. They are very precious to me. But the most important thing that I learned through this is that I still have the real thing!

I am so sorry you couldn't get your pictures back! I would be devestated (especially since my scrapbooking is NOT up to date!) I'll be sure to make copies if I come across pictures of your kiddos.
