We just returned from Florida after spending the past four days with the Walker extended family for the biannual family reunion/Thanksgiving/Christmas trip. We're exhausted and still full. :)

We're going to put some pictures up when we get a free minute this week.

It was great spending time with everyone & we won't wait until the next to see everyone.

When we returned, I had a letter waiting for me from an old friend that I haven't seen in a number of years and that I'd been trying to run down. It was the perfect ending to a great break. :)

hello katie! :)

I just wanted to write a quick note in case you made it here...we need to start using this space more.

Yesterday was OK, for a birthday. Nothing too exciting about being at work, you know? We had a Thanksgiving potluck lunch yesterday at the office, so that made the day feel a bit special.

Since MG's birthday is next week, we're going to celebrate both of them this weekend. Some sushi and a dollar movie may not sound very fun/romantic to many, but that's what we're doing.

I have work to do, so that's it for now.

Random charity of the day:

The Wild Foundation

Hello to who ever is reading this... probably just David or myself (not to exclude anyone). This is my first time to ever post a blog. So... just to catch everyone (or ourselves) up to date from last entry: .... actually not much is changing or too terribly exciting. We are kindof just laying low in between all of the time we have spent and are about to spend with family for the holiday seasons.

Just last week we went to Tennessee to meet Kristens family and celebrate Thanksgiving. We ate a previously happy turkey and then spent 2 days in Knoxville relaxing a bit. When we got back into town we celebrated Elizabeth's, Daniel's, David's and my birthdays. Fun stuff... Elizabeth got drunk and there was a cover band. wow.

Anyway, we have our one year anniversary coming up on the 11th of December and then shortly after that we are going to be going up to Colorado to spend Christmas with David's clan. After that we have 4 days with my side of the family and then hopefully a long nap... didelly doodilly neighburroo.....

So, mostly all's well here. Miriam is amazing. She is rolling over now from her back to her stomach and finds it utterly amusing to do so while having her diaper changed. Her personallity is growing fuller and situations are now starting to have more perminate effects on how she feels each day.

Well the computer is messing up again so i shall go read instead.
much love to all

First post...welcome!

After some thought on how we can keep family & friends updated on what's going around here, we decided to start this blog.

Hopefully we'll be able to keep it filled with stuff that isn't just related to what Miriam's latest developments are or how warm the weather has been lately in Birmingham.

We like to laugh, take pictures, read, cook, travel, spend time with family and friends, raise our daughter, drink Guinness, hike, and try new things (in no particular order).

You know, the same as everyone else. ;)

Welcome! Kick your feet up, enjoy your time & drop us a note sometime.
