I found myself becoming quite anthropological watching Anna learn to walk and talk over the summer. She is a curious and rambunctious child who is always getting into things we thought…
Congrats Mike.
Tell her "hello" and "thank you" from Chris in Austin, TX.
Its obviously a sly move by the Bush administration to terminate your recent spate of non-conformist postings.
Who says blogging never achieves anything!
What a great surprise! Congratulations to you both. One of my friends came back from Iraq recently and it's such a relief whenever someone comes home in good shape.
Yay! You both need some good surprises for a change.
Way to go Brother!
Congrats!!
Git on and happy honeymooning, you two!
*Hugs*
Congratulations!
Y'all have a nice time now ;)
Glad to hear it. Hope we won't be hearing from you for a while, but looking forward to when we do.

Two. That's one day to get yer skates sharpened and one day to catch up with the wife ...
Some of the younger guys come back with dull skates.
It's good to hear that she's safe and sound. I hope she's home for good.

Good to hear. Best of luck.
