Where is the camera?

Recently, I went to take some pictures of the girls to capture some of Kaytes' antics and some of Emmalees' "firsts."  To my surprise and sadness I couldn't find the camera, I didn't look too hard since I was enjoying spending some time with the girls while they both were awake and I didn't have anything that needed doing in the house at the time. A day or so later, I still can't find the camera...hmmm wonder where it can be? I text Joe at work "do you know where the camera is?" Like most days, when he is at work I don't get a quick response. When we talk later he says he doesn't know where it is, but he will check his computer bag and the truck. He also said he would help me look for it in the morning when he got home. That was easy, Joe always seems to have the "magic touch" and can fix it, find it, make it better. So when he got home on Friday morning we ate breakfast, cleaned up our breakfast dishes, and set out to search. Okay, we didn't just ignore the girls while we searched. We searched everywhere. Couch, check. Chair, check. Office, check. Filing cabinet, check. Bathroom cabinets draws, check. Lower kitchen cabinets, check. Girls rooms, check. The loft and all the toys in the loft, check. The loft closet, check. Our bedroom, check. Both vehicles, check. Bags/purses I use most frequently, check. Phone calls to people who have been here recently, check. Joe even checked our recycling.  NO WHERE to be found! It is driving me bonkers.  When Joe asked her what she did with the camera, she went over the garbage can and opened the lid and pointed inside. Now if that is the case, the garbage already got picked up Friday morning and the camera is gone forever. And it bothers me even more because there were pictures on there that I hadn't transferred yet to the computers.

So much to my sadness that I can't upload those pictures on our new blog, I can't even take new pictures of the girls and capture memories.
