a quick bit of catch up...


Man, oh man! i can not believe that it has been so long since i wrote! let me do this by family member: It is so much easier to follow me on FACEBOOK..... first off the above picture is of my mom and her new husband, Dean Nix. they married Feb. 5, 2009. He is a wonderful man and such a blessing to be added to our family!!


Drew - first year of high school has been awesome for him. he is a great student and athlete. he just recently made the JV baseball team. he is the starting 3rd baseman and he pitches some too. 2 weeks ago he was hit in the face with a ball and broke his nose. Thankfully he had spring break to recover before games resume! He was put on the DL for 2 weeks! that was when he cried! He also got his learner's permit at the beginning of March. He has been driving some. He does a pretty good job. He drove for the first time on the interstate over the Easter weekend!


Ashley - almost out of middle school! On the same day Drew broke his nose she fell off the top of a desk at school and got a concussion. We seriously spent the entire day in the hospital! She recently auditioned for AMTC - http://www.amtcworld.com/ and was called back for acting, singing and commercial print. She will compete at the competition this summer in Orlando. She is very excited!


Griffin - same old, same old! Work, church, spending all his free time with us! AT&T threatening going on strike has his work schedule a little bent out of shape....but we are just so thankful that he has a job!


Connie - worked seasonal work for Lifetouch Portrait Studios. Was a lot of fun. But starting in jan, I began teaching piano at a local music store. I now have 21 students. We are having a blast! the economy is just not what it needs to be to hire personal professional photographers!
