We welcomed a new family member, and ALEXIS CAN WALK!!!

My sister was married on Saturday to Joshua Alan Myers. He's a great guy and they're down in Acapulco, Mexico for the week.

We're still in Georgia even though both of us were supposed to work today. The thing is, our check engine light came on while we were driving from the church for rehearsal to the restaurant for the dinner. Turns out our transmission is going out. It still drove fine, but we didn't feel comfortable taking it the 500+ miles back home. It's still in the shop. We're staying with my parents until it's fixed, and then we're going straight to Tennessee for another wedding (that of Abby's cousin).

Now for the most exciting news of the day... Alexis took her first steps. If you're on facebook you can see videos of her walking there. She was so proud of herself. It was awesome! The most I've seen her walk was about 20 steps and she was up for over 10 seconds on her own. I've even seen her pull herself up using an end table and then turn and take a few steps away from it. It's so awesome to finally have her walking on her own. Here come the bumps, scrapes, and bruises.
