Welcome to our family blog

Hello everyone. I wanted to give this a try as a way to keep in touch with those we don't get a chance to see very often. I'll try to post something on a weekly basis. That's my goal right now at least(we'll see how it goes). Please feel free to post any comments you would like. So, as I watch the snow falling on this last day of January, I begin the Nix family blog...


Well, here we go, the main reason for doing this. Letting all of you know what is going with myself, Renee, Marisa and Carson. So I guess I'll start by doing a quick status on everybody:


  • I am currently employed at at&t,(formerly SBC, which was formerly Southwestern Bell, which was formerly AT&T...hope you got that, there may be a test later...;) I have been there since I graduated in 2000. I work in a group in the IT part of the company where our responsibility is to monitor the backups for all the systems in the company. Outside of work, I keep busy taking care of the kids and working on our house that we are remodeling.

  • Renee helps run a branch office here in O Fallon for the insurance agency her family owns. She also has been doing that since graduating in 2001. When she is not at work, she stays busy with the kids, keeps me busy with the 'honey-do's' and gets to play a little volleyball at our church once a week.

  • Marisa turned 3 in November. She goes to preschool twice a week and she does gymnastics once a week. She really likes doing forward rolls and swinging on the bars. Other than that, she keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh everyday.

  • Carson will be 7 mo. old tommorow. Boy how the time flies! He is sitting up on his own and any day now will be taking off crawling. Lately the Nix side has been coming out as he will stick his tounge out whenever he is doing things. Anyone who has seen my dad working will know what I am talking about(although he hasn't started with the toothpicks yet...I expect that will come once he gets teeth.)



Well, that about does it for the State of the Family. Enjoy the pics. Hope I didn't bore you too much. So long until next week...
