Hard to believe that it's been two years since we've posted to this blog. To say a lot has happened in the interim would be an understatement.
A few updates:
Jo and I finished our respective periods of international fieldwork, wrote up our dissertations, defense them, and graduated in May 2014!
Miles Paul Meek was born on January 9th, 2014!
We both accepted academic positions at the University of Alabama, and have moved to Northport, AL!
Here are a few pics from our time here so far:
Tuscaloosa and Northport are separated by the Black Warrior river. Above is the Bama Belle boat, which might be Annie's new moniker.
We had a lovely visit from Grandma and Grandpa; book reading, magic tricks, and loads of pretending!
Annie and Miles are at the Capitol School, which is a Montessori School. I've gone and played banjo several times to volunteer.
Annie and I build a small raised bed garden in the back of our house.
We're trying to get out more and explore the Alabama outdoors. We took a lovely weekend trip with friends to Natural Bridge, Alabama, and the Dismals Canyon. Utah-like slot canyons and arches...in Alabama!
Given how hot it was when we arrived in August, in general, we've just been loving spending time down by the river, up around Lake Nicol, or in the shade at the playgrounds.

Looking forward to the cooler temperature of Fall, and more exploring.
