A New Era

So this is the first entry in the new blog…better make it good.

Greetings to you all! It’s been awhile since we last talked. Hope everyone is doing great. The Byers household is slowly getting back to normal. We have had a crazy July. It started off with a trip to Indianapolis to visit our friends the Longs over the 4th. There was some good golf and a crazy wait at the Texas Roadhouse (another story for another time.)

I then broke my 26 year streak of not attending a funeral by going to 2 in 3 days. Mickie’s aunt passed away so it was off to Missouri and then we went to Wisconsin for my grandpa’s funeral.

We had a few days at home but then headed to Winter Park, CO for vacation. It was a lot of fun. I’m glad we were in the mountains with the 90 degree heat instead of in the city with the 105 degree heat! Look for a video of Mia’s first Alpine Slide ride soon.

So now we are back to normal – whatever that means.

Mia is growing up faster and faster. She decided today that she needed to kiss Mickie and me (multiple times) and no, I am not complaining. She is really into the game of peek a boo as well. She will hide behind a wall, couch, or whatever and stick her head out and say “peek.” It really doesn’t get any cuter than that.

One last thing, if you subscribed via RSS to our previous newsletter, you will need to change your feed address. I was cleaning out my server and accidently deleted my entire newsletter…which contributed to the swiftness of this new design and format. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So, hope you enjoy the new site. Make sure to leave your comments below!

    Hey Cous,

    Great job on the sight. It is good to hear Mia is growing and developing. Gabriel is doing the same. He’s still not walking but crawls everywhere. We’ll be in the States in September and October, maybe we can hook up. I’m glad I’m the first to post on your updated sight. Take care. Dan Swedberg

    Hey Dan,

    Good to hear from you. It would be great to get together. Let me know when you might be in town.

    Hey Josh,

    Cute picture of Mia. I hope that I do this ok. I would hate to think I am just to old or stupid to at least try and keep up on some of this computer stuff. Roger pointed out Ask Jeeves so I have used Jeeves some. Trouble is I have to keep asking the same questions over and over.

    I don’t want and IPOD, but from your excitement over winning one(and I like your T-Shirt design) you must feel the way I don when I find a really neat cool purse for a good price.

    Becky

    Hey Josh,
    I love the new site design. Very 2005. You missed an “n”in “Syndicated,” but no big deal. Visually very appealing. And your daughter sure is a cutie.

    Keep up the great work on both fronts.

    Thanks for the props Karl! I hate checking things over…when I get it done I want to be done with it for awhile. My dad caught some rather grevious errors. The 2 biggest were I said the Mia was born the same year we were married and I said we were married May 21 when we were actually married May 19….whoops. Glad my dad saw it and not Mickie.
