In the beginning...

And so, here we are...The Wilson 6. Our first ever blog! Thanks to the Williams (in particular, Jessica) for giving us the idea to keep up to date this way! With any luck, I'll keep this up and figure out how to use it fairly quickly. Don came up with our 'name', thought it rather appropriate after spending some time living in (and leaving part of our hearts in) Alabama last year.
A brief overview of our family:
Don: father, husband, applications engineer and golfer (and STILL missing AL very much!)
Tracy: mother, wife, research engineer in the fields of child development and home economics (ok, I'm a stay-at-home-mom!), and I like golf too!
Ariel: 14, brilliant, dramatic, and the fastest 'text-er' in the house
Tori: 13, sensative, creative and loving
Donavan: 6, tenderhearted, smart and adventurous (as long as mom or dad is right there!)
Jordyn: 5, growing up way too fast, smart, and trying to keep up with DJ

We have pets, so I can't forget them. Savvy (Ariel's hamster), Bear (Tori's hamster), Spidey (DJ's hamster), Fluffy (Jr's hamster), 4 fish (their names change every time the kids count them I think), and Shelly (the snail). Then there's Phea Fee (our cockateil, she's been with us for about 3 years now, I think), and Ariel's parakeet, Serenity as well.

We are going to attempt our first garden this year, wish us luck. All I want is a salad in the backyard and fruit to eat (I'm NOT into canning!).
