Fort Worth Air Show

We went back to the air show last weekend. We had such a good time last year! This year, we didn't do nearly as much because of the crowds. But since we've already toured all of the airplanes, and the kids aren't scared of the noise anymore, we got to spend more time watching the planes in flight.

(This is one of my favorites from last year. He's not so little anymore.)

This year the Blue Angels were there. They are So Cool. I never knew much about them until I saw a documentary a few months ago. And then sure enough they show up at the air show. Why didn't we get to see these when I was a kid? Probably because Alliance airport didn't exist when I was a kid.

We had our annual pumpkin carving tonight. The pumpkins turned out great. This year we didn't use patterns; just pure Walker talent.

The Big '0-8'

Addison chose to take her two buddies to Libby Lu's for her birthday celebration. After all 3 choosing the 'Hannah Montana' makeover, they all got to spend their very own credit card at the mall.

Do you see the resemblance?

My new job is going well. I've been there a week and am getting used to some of the faces. I finally got my email setup today. Lord only knows why it takes a week to transfer email from one server to another. I've been working a little bit more but that's good. Where I was bored before, now I look at the clock and it's time to go. The days go by much faster.

As for school, it's kinda slow this semester. But a good break after a crappy summer. I am thinking about starting to run again. The weather is starting to cool down. And since I find myself in the sitting position much more at work, a little more exercise will be nice. Eric and I went on a 24 mile bike ride on Sunday. It felt so great! Now if I could just get the alarm set in the morning, I'll get going! I'm thinking about the half marathon at White Rock. Or maybe Cowtown. Or maybe I should do both.

My new job has been delayed two days. I thought that the person taking my place, who was supposed to accept the position as a promotion from another club, would have it made. I've taken care of all of the little tedious yuckness that I've been putting off and my office is totally clean and ready to hand off to the new person.

But he turned it down. So no replacement yet. My co-workers would really appreciate a replacement. Not some temporary regional 'cover'.


SOOOOOO! I have new nephew. Another perfect angel to make a trio of them! No pics though- don't know how the parentals feel about that sort of thing. Too bad for you - the blogreader -because I am telling you, he is a Q T.

And in other news, I started a new book this week - New Moon - the second in the series of Twilight. I've only read the first two chapters but I love the characters so much that I am anticipating a great story. So much better than television.
