The Happy Family

Brett, Addy, and Hillary moments after Addy's birth. Maddox's little sister!

Happy Birthday Addyson Avery Overton!

Addyson Avery Overton was born on Thursday, March 20th. 7 lbs 1 oz. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures yet, Hillary went in for her c-section unexpectedly on Thursday night, I got the call while I was at dinner and left directly from there. Hopefully I will get some pictures e-mailed to me soon and I will post those. Hillary and Addyson are doing fine. Congratulations Hillary and Brett!!

Tornadoes in Atlanta

Tornadoes ripped through Atlanta friday night. The storm was incredible, it rained harder then I have ever experienced. 27 people were injured that night, but it is amazing that it wasn't more. The main damage was done literally 5 miles from my house. In fact, Cabbagetown had about 20 houses leveled and it is the neighborhood next to Decatur. Below is a picture of the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, right down the street from us. Friends of ours lived in these lofts a few years back. We drove by the damage today, debris was everywhere, and it had a HORRIBLE stench! A sewer main had to have broken, because it was pungent.

We had another tornado touch down in Atlanta this afternoon. Fortunately it didn't do the damage that friday night's tornado did, but the storms killed two people in further away counties. We are actually under a tornado watch until 1:00 am tomorrow morning!

Personality Profile

I did one of those personality things on http://www.mypersonality.info and this is what it came up with. The questions were not very well worded and they used "yes, no" type scale for one of them instead of using a sliding scales like a 5 or 7 point likert scale. Although it is interesting that one of the careers suggested for people with "intrapersonal" intelligence is "psychologist" although it doesn't specify what kind. I am assuming that they are referring to a "therapist" which is that LAST thing is the world I would want to be. ANYWAY, it was just something to pass the time.

Walk for Autism

My lab is once again supporting Autism Speaks and the Marcus Institute (they do intervention and research here in Atlanta) by participating in the Georgia Walk for Autism. One part of our research is funded by Autism Speaks, and they give out grant money every year. Please visit our page and donate if you can, either money or your time by educating people about Autism Spectrum Disorders. If you would like donate please click the title and click on my name!

Hazel's surgery

Hazel got spayed recently and was so pathetic when she came home. Of course, she was back to her old annoying self the next day.
Poor Hazel...

Snoooooooww!

These are pictures from when it snowed a couple of weeks ago. That will probably be it for the year so everyone was pretty excited. All of you up north probably won't understand
