We have DSL. Finally. And a whole day early. However, Verizon made it difficult until the bitter end. I pulled out the DSL kit, put the installation cd in, got as far as the section on filters, then got stuck. Verizon uses flash illustrations to show you what you need to do and how to do it. We kept getting flash errors, but when we clicked on the settings button to rectify the situation, a blank screen would come up and nothing would happen. This wouldn't be a problem since we knew how to set up the hardware, the problem was you couldn't move beyond the spot on the cd where we had encountered the error. Our options were, according to Verizon literature, to go online to Verizon's help page, or give them a call and, no doubt, wait five thousand hours to speak to an actual person. Fortunately, Dave is some sort of computer genius and managed to circumvent the whole issue by poking around online and doing all sorts of fancy computer stuff. If Paris Hilton had been here, she'd have said "That's hot..."

Now that we have a superfast, extra-awesome internet connection that can only mean one thing: a Henry picture!

On August 4th, Henry starting standing all on his own. A week later he was taking one or two steps. Yesterday he took four whole steps. Is he not the most brilliant baby on the face of the earth?
