Technology woes

Well, again sorry for both the blog and email silence. We have had quite a few problems that keep us from getting online, downloading email and connecting with the outside world. We had problems when we had a server change for one of our emails. After a week of not receiving many emails, I realized all of Chris' emails were downloading into my inbox and his inbox and mine were floating around cyberspace somewhere. Then we had a virus that prevented us from accessing any websites, so I couldn't read my gmail account or do any blogging.

Now these problems seem to be fixed, but the internet is slow here and you have to go to the lab to access the wireless. I also realized I had received a 6 mb size email that would not download, so I was repeatedly downloading the 74 emails into my inbox, but they would only get as far as number 13 and then it would fail because of the large size of that one email. Now I have deleted that one and am waiting once again to see if all 73 will actually appear.

Also, because it is slow, I am not really able to upload video onto the blog so you will have to wait till we get back.

Austin and I have spent most days at the pool, playing or out walking with other kids, taking naps and of course, eating. We also made another trip back to the zoo with a big group of moms and kids. We saw penguins and loud, squawking orangatuans, zebras and fed the giraffe again. Austin had fun but I was exhausted. Austin seems well-adjusted now and is enjoying the many kids around and loves the pool. Tonight there was a pool party with pizza around the pool- what a better combination than pizza and the pool. Afterwards, Austin apparently was uncomfortable in his swim diaper, because he kept walking around with a pained look saying "Diaper, funny". I think he meant it felt funny. We went and changed- nothing appeared wrong but I guess it didn't feel right to him.

Well, I will stop here for tonight. I will try some pictures next time but am too tired of technology woes tonight to try it. We miss everyone.
