Sorry for the long delay in updates. our laptop has been for sick for the past few months and unable to do things like upload pictures. we got a new computer for Christmas and i am so glad to be up and running again. unfortunately most of my pictures from the last few months are still on my laptop, but here are a few pictures we have taken since Christmas. Since my last up date we have had lots of stuff going on. Luther has gone from taking a few step to running around like crazy. he is always on the go!! the beginning of November we started james's interviews for residency by taking a week long road trip from here to Birmingham then to Atlanta and then on to Nashville. James was very impressed with the Birmingham program and that is still his top choice right now. to see pictures from that trip go to this link: http://etsu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2047533&l=09c3a&id=57504677 on thanksgiving day, we found out that i am PREGNANT!! that is right, Luther is going...
