Thanks Lola. That is probably right. We do not have administrator privileges on our work computers either, so downloading any software requires an act of Congress. I'll check from home...can't wait to see it! M

Rainy

Rainy - you are truly a gift from God as well!
Your work is amazing! I cannot wait for you to get your sweet child home so that we can see more beautiful pictures and slide shows of you and your child as well!
Many Blessing to you!

Rainy, I am speechless.. what a gorgeous and moving show you did... WOW. I am marveling at the work you do, as well as the story of Olya... what a wonderful and happy ending. In everything that we do, that show truly demonstrates what each of us has worked so very hard for!

Bravo, bravo, bravo!

What a beautiful story. I've watched it twice and it takes me back to when we first became a family. What a wonderful gift you have, Rainy. And Lola, you and Olya make a beautiful family.

Help! I can't open it. It won't let me download the program it tells me error. I've tried it on 3 different computers. Work, laptop and home.
Any ideas I would love to see it.

Thanks,
Jennifer

awesome

I loved it. I teared up at my desk at work watching it.

I live in GA too, just on the north side of Atlanta. I've only been to Fayetteville once for a wedding.

Jennifer, I can't view it on my work computer, but can at home. I'm afraid I can't help you, though. Sorry!! I have no idea about the technical stuff that's required to view it. Can anyone else offer a suggestion?
