WW – The B Man’s First Christmas

December 10, 2008 by Elaine

It’s still a little sad for me to recount but somehow (hus was re-building his computer as he likes to do…) almost ALL of the pictures we took during The B Man’s first Christmas were lost. I only have a few from Christmas day at my MIL’s house – thank goodness for them. But, I have NOTHING from our Christmas Eve celebration with my family in Austin. Even the ones my Mom took were terribly blurry. Boo Hoo!

Anyway, this is the only “winner” I have of The B Man’s first Christmas (2004). Luckily, it’s pretty cute! {tee hee}
Also, go Visit Life, Liberty & The Pursuit… She’s giving away $20 to Target and food to the needy for every comment left on the post I linked to. Pretty cool, huh? Plus!! You get to see her beautifully decorated home! : )

For more WordFUL Wednesday go to Seven Clown Circus.
For more Wordless Wednesday go to 5 Minutes for Mom.

    Well, it certainly is a cute one!

    I last year I had visions of capturing all the surprise and excitement of Christmas, but then in all the excitement I hardly got any pictures!

    What a cute picture!

    and oh no… I don’t think I would be able to recount the loss of pictures like that. so sad! I am glad that you got this one though.

    note to self: backup pictures more often. scary how much of my life lives on this computer! sigh.

    Awww, what a sweetie! Sigh…they grow up too fast!

    We had our external hard drive fail last year and I lost hundreds of pictures of Caden! I almost had a heart attack! But, we found out we can get them off of the drive by sending it in to a lab…it will only cost like $700!!!! Yikes! So, I’m saving that hard drive for when we can afford to justify the $700…maybe prices will have come down by the time we actually get around to it!

    aww he was (is) SO cute!!! You can see his little face in their. I will admit, until I read the title I thought it was Little G! They DO look different, but at first glance they are very similar!

    I feel some of your pain. For my second son’s first birthday, I have one underexposed out of focus photo of him. The rest of the time was spent chasing his big brother around. Literally chasing.

    I’m so sorry your lost your pictures. I know how I would feel if that happened. Makes me want to back them all up right now. Maybe I’ll do that today.

    The B-Man is so cute. I think he looks so much like you 😉

    It is always heart breaking to lose pictures. This is a great shot though! I am glad that it survived!!

    December 10, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    What a doll! And thanks for the reminder to back up my pictures!

    WOW did he grow! I lost 6 months of pictures that I left on the camera when the humidity decided to ruin it. I almost died.

  28. Mommy Mo says

    December 10, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    That totally sucks! I can totally relate- our computer crashed about one year after ourfirst was born. The first thing I thought of was “what about our pictures”?! Luckily, I had uploaded most, but not all, of the photos to ofoto.com. Now, I backup my pictures to an external harddrive every few months.

  29. Shannon says

    December 10, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    Well, if you don’t have many, THAT is a great one to have b/c he looks just totally precious 🙂

  30. amanda says

    December 10, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Cute picture. What a bummer that you lost your pics (a great reminder to me to back-up my own…) Wish I lived near DFW for your get together!

    I actually accidentally deleted some early baby pictures of Francesco. I was lucky to at least have them printed but they were gone forever (even with a computer guru for a husband)
    Love the shot, he has beautiful eyes!

  34. Octamom says

    December 11, 2008 at 2:58 am

    Glad you’ve still got this one! What a cutie!!

    Blessings!
