Well my primary email account is back online (its the one that this blog will update to) so hopefully I'm good to go. They are still working on my secondary acount and the kids email accounts. I have to get Bill's laptop to download pictures from the weekend as that is where they live right now. So as soon as I get them downloaded - probably ( Read more... )
