Vacation Pics are Finally Up!!!!!

Here are the vacation pictures I have been promising for weeks now. I still don't have this blog thing quite figured so my pictures are on here chronologically backwards!!!! I think it will be okay though!!!Here is Maggie. Her and Brian came and picked me up from the airport!!!! She is wearing the Minnie Mouse hat and holding the stuffed animal that we got her at Disney world. I think she liked them!!!


Here are Me, Emily and Mom on "the cedar chest". This chest is in my aunt's house and everyone that comes to visit has to get their picture taken on it before they leave. We actually have pictures of my Great-great grandparents sitting on this chest as well as quite a few of my relatives and ancestors!!!
Here I am standing by a shrimp boat at the harbor near the sea food market we ate at. I was trying so hard to find a shrimp boat captain (like Forest Gump) to take my picture with, but I didn't have any luck, so I settled for a shrimp boat!!!
Here are Emily and I on the train tour of St. Augustine.
I was chosen as an extra in an Indiana Jones show at Disney. There I am 2nd from the left. I was a middle eastern townswoman, at this point we were supposed to be acting like we were walking on coals. They offered me a permanent position in the show but I opted to come back to Charlestown Indiana and lead a normal life... haha... kidding, but it was a lot of fun!!!


Here I am just after I was chosen to be an extra. This is before we went to "wardrobe"... obviously!!!


Me and Emily in the parking lot at Disney World!!! The beginning of the fun!!!!!

HEADED HOME!!!!

Hello Blogworld!!! It's been a while since I've updated... We were at my aunt's in Jacksonville and they don't have wireless internet so I couldn't get connected to update you on the happenings of my vacation!!!! This is just going to be a brief blog, we are sitting in the airport in Jacksonville and getting ready to board our plane to head home!!!!
This is Crocky... He's the alligator that lives in the retention pound behind my aunt Elaine's house. This picture was litteraly taken from her backyard with my not so great little camera!!! He is HUGE!!!! Every morning we would get up and look for Crocky... and every morning he was there!!! He'd basically stay in this same spot all day and sunbathe. I guess he never ate!!!

This is the Cobra towl that was waiting on my bed for me at Elaine's. She always makes these when people come to visit... I thought he was sooo cute!!!

This is Elaine and Mike's pool in thier back yard!!!! It's closed in by a screen to keep Crocky out!!

And who can go to Florida without getting a picture of a beautiful palm tree??? This is in Elaine and Mike's back yard!!! I LOVE FLORIDA!!!!!

We had a wonderful time, but I'm kind of excited to go home, I'm missing Brian!!!!

Well thats all for now, stay tuned for a much more indepth blog in the next few days, I've got all kinds of pictures I am going to post of Disney, the beach, and St. Augustine!!!!

WE HAVE A BABY!!!!!

Well... WE don't have a baby, but Megan and Chris do!!!! Lincoln Michael Birke!!! He was born this morning at 4:11 am after 22 hours of agonizing labor. He was 9 pounds 3 ounces and 22 inches long. Basically Megan popped out a toddler... He was actually walking himself down the hallways of the hospital!!! Okay, maybe I'm exagerating a little, but what I'm getting at is that he was a big boy!!! And most definately the cutest baby in the world!!!!

I got to the hospital around 11:00am yesterday. It was a long day!!!! Brian came in the evening because he had a lot of stuff to do, but he still didn't miss much!!!! By about midnight all of us were so tired we were delerious. We were laughing at things that weren't even funny!!! When he was finally born everyone was so relieved that both baby Lincoln and mommy Megan were healthy and okay!!!

Megan and Baby Lincoln today when I went to the hospital to see them.




The proud dad and Baby!!!!





This is Megan's cousin Johnny sleepin with his mom's jacket over his head. He'd been sleeping laying down and changed positions to sitting up without even waking up!!!





Mike and Carl sitting in the hallway waiting for Lincoln to come.

Josh (Megan's brother) passed out in the hallway.

Kelsey passed out in the waiting room. She was so tired!!!

Poor Brian. Snoring in the waiting room. He was such a trooper hanging out with me until the wee hours of the morning!!!

Im putting the pictures on here of Maggie and Brian at Kansai that I promised Sunday!!!
