...February Came & Went!

Our intention is to do these updates weekly...however, the month of February managed to come and go before we could react here on the website! Both of us work for the Internal Revenue Service. This is the middle of the filing season. Suffice it to say we are both extremely challenged to keep up with the workflow at the office while still dealing with our other obligations. Keeping the website current takes a backseat during times like these. Anyhow, the month saw us take care of some basic needs in life. Wayne had three separate dental appointments during the month. He now (at the age of 40!) realizes the importance of brushing his teeth more than once per day...and flossing regularly. Hopefully Laura won't take that long to figure it out! Shenita registered our vehicles here in Ohio. In fact, she took the test to get her Ohio Driver's License the other day. It looks like the Hicks' family is planning to stay in the Buckeye state for a minute or two.

The most joyous family news to report is that our cousin Bruce Hacker and his wife Desi gave birth to their second child on February 26th. Nathan Coleman Hacker becomes the newest entry in the Crockett lineage of our family history. The proud parents have pictures of the baby posted here.

...Happy Birthday!

Our family has had a fun few weeks (Jan 18-31). One of the main events was the fortieth birthday celebrated on January 30th by Wayne. His staff at work provided him with 40 ounces of prune juice, a wheelchair, and the ever-present black balloons with the 'over-the-hill' stamp on 'em! He also received love, kisses, and a list of things that need to be done around the house from his wife & daughter! All in all, he's feeling blessed for making it to this stage of life. He still won't accept the fact that he is now officially in the "middle-aged" category of life! One thing that we all know is that Wayne isn't much of a Super Bowl predictor. Earlier he predicted a Super Bowl with NJ Jets and Minnesota Vikings. He lost out on both ends!!!

Another eventful part of this timespan was the visit made to Alabama by Laura and Shenita. Shenita and Wayne were in Atlanta for business. They took advantage of the trip to Atlanta to have Laura share some valuable time with her aunts, uncles, and great-grandfather in Montgomery, Alabama. We hope to have pictures to share with you in the near future. Laura had a wonderful time with her Uncle Willie, Uncle Charles, Aunt Bre, Aunt Rita, and especially with her Great-Grandpa Steele!

Wayne and Shenita had lunch with Charles & Javoyne Hicks during the trip. For those that don't know...Javoyne is pregnant with their second child. She is due to deliver on July 8th. They don't know whether the child is a boy or girl yet. If you have time, send a congrats e-mail directly to Javoyne.
