Getting the blog done this month was a total pain. I had all the pictures uploaded and ready to put in the blog when the internet went out, and I lost them all. Boo. The next day, the internet was on for a bit. I uploaded the pictures again, and lost them again when the internet went out again. We were without the internet for nearly two weeks after that. We got it up and running today, so the first thing I did was finish the blog! I hope next month's goes a little easier.
