long time, no post

So i know that it has been a coupla days, but they have been holi-days...

So #1 reason for no post is no power for the laptop, the AC adapter apparently died. So i called gateway to see if they can point me in the right direction of an authorized retailer, no such luck. I guess the Gateway has no such thing "they try to put their products in all kinds of stores". She heard the diliema with best buy and could not offer anymore help. Mind you I keep everything on this laptop so devins easter was on here and i thought i wasnt going to be able to take her to the festivities. So as long as i said i was going somewhere else it was ok to buy a new one. The gateway woman on the phone said that she can ship me one costing 40-something $, so beleive the surprise on my face when i went into the big blue "box" store and saw a universal one for $109. What is going on? How can it be such a huge mark up and not even a name brand model. So............I had to get one. My plan is to use it while i have gateway send me another one and then returning the blue box store version of a rip-off.

Meanwhile, we got to the church on time and Devin had a great easter! She was so happy with the easter bunny. She also got to go on stage with the rest of the sunday school and sings some songs she just learned today and we think she was WONDERFUL. She did such a good job! Marlee did a good job of looking pretty on easter. Twice a photog asked to take her photo, I hope that one day i will get to see them.....

Here are some of our pics...

The girls in front of the first sign of spring, a blooming tree.

Marlee in her pretty little dress and sun hat that she LOVES.

Devin showing what she found from the Easter Bunny. Check out the shades that that crazy hare left.

Tomorrow Devin is off school for Easter Monday so i went to the local library and scored some Museum of Science passes and i will try to see if some friends want to join us but i am not so sure that will happen since it is so last minute but here is to hoping they like free things as much as me.

Till you peek again,
