We're Back!

My apologies for the lack of posts in the last month. I for one thought that December was supposed to be the craziest time of the year. I guess I was wrong! January was twice as busy as December and it had our family running around like crazy for practically the whole month. And now we're almost halfway through February?? Sheesh!

Since the beginning of 2011, our family has gone through a lot of changes. Our condo was remodeled in early January which had us displaced from our home for a few days. Nick quit his job at Efinancial and was blessed with an amazing new sales position at Liberty Mutual that we are very excited about. We also took a two-week trip to the midwest to visit family and just got back this week. Not to mention, Owen is sitting up all by himself now and is eating solid foods three times a day. Bananas are his favorite!

God continues to grow and shape the Walker family as we go through continued change and unexpected twists in life. Nick was hoping to find a new job in the near future, but we had no idea that He was going to bless Nick with such a wonderful job in such a timely manner! Nick's first day at Liberty Mutual was today and he is already extremely excited about what this company has in store for him. I'm just happy that he has found a job that he can get excited about!

Since I'm all out of words for the evening, here are a few pictures from our trip to the Midwest.
