I thought I should let all of you know....first of all that I am in deed alive and I have not forgotten about the blogging community. Over the last month Blogging has fell low on my list of priorities. I think the wind was really taken out of my sails when my computer with pictures from the last 3 years crashed! We spent $100 to find out that our hard drive had crashed, which we already knew, and the information was not recoverable, which we suspected. I am fortunate that I have blogged excessively the last year so I have most of the pictures from Talia's first year of life. Besides that I went to my Grandma Nielson's 100th birthday and tagged along on Preston's business trip. For the holidays we had lots of visitors, in fact all 8 Hickman kids and all the grandkids came for Christmas which was crazy and fun all at the same time and Preston and I had Gavin for 10 days during which I got a nasty flu and proceeded to throw up for two days! Ahh! In addition Talia decided she had had enough of this crawling business and decided to walk just before Christmas (9 1/2 months old). I have been on my toes ever since and she just keeps getting faster. So to sum up...I have a bunch of pictures on my camera that I am not quite sure what to do with but when I do you will have many posts to catch up on. In the mean time, I think I am on Marenda's blog a couple of times if you are in need of new pictures.
Until I blog agian...
