A picture loss

A week ago Kevin was out of town and I was really sick and so I let Kylan play on the computer but told him not to delete any items or play with any of my stuff. Well, he didn't listen very well and somehow he deleted ALL of my pictures on the computer. I had over 15,000 pics from when we adopted the kids, all of our vacations, everyday pics, EVERYTHING was gone. I was so upset but remembered that at some point last year I had backed everything up on an external hard drive. Well, the backup was done on Dec 15th, 2008 so I had about 10,000 pictures backed up and then between the blog and Facebook I found about 2500 more so I am only missing about 2000-3000 pictures. I take a TON of pics because I'm a scrapbooker and now I don't have Christmas pictures, Easter pictures and basically Jan-May of 2009 is gone! If you happen to have pictures of my family please email them to me or let me know on Facebook. I'm really sad but kinda mad at myself for not backing up my pictures at all this year.

Yikes! Sorry you lost some pics, but glad you were able to recover so many. That is a huge fear of mine! I have my pics on CD's, but fear of losing them in a fire or tornado, so I've started uploading them to a couple of photo sites each month. I guess I really need to start using an external hard drive too.
