Greetings everyone! It has been a while!

[AlbaSurf]

Hello fellow angler and Tyers! It's been almost 8 years since I last logged on.... wow!
A lot has happened in my life since then. I had some babies. Three of them, in fact. And boy do they take up your time!

Levi (2) is on the left, Joseph (5 months) is in the middle, and Eleanor (4) is on the right. I look forward to browsing more this weekend and seeing who is around!

I have missed FAOL a lot! And now my 4 year old and two year old are getting into tying!

Warm regards,
Karli-Rae

Wow! Has it been that long??
Congrats on your 3 kiddos! That's kind of a big deal.
Welcome back!

Three cuties and I love their names.

Thanks Dave! I didn't know you were in St. Louis! My husband's family is from there and we just got back from a family funeral. What part of StL are you in?

[Uncle Jesse]

I would guess you have been quite busy with three kids, I gained one grandchild and she keeps me pretty busy. And she lives 12 miles away. Congratulations on a beautiful family. It is good to see you posting again.

Has it been eight-years? I have been away for awhile myself, but recently returned to see what has been up. Happy to see those of us who have not been around awhile coming back to the herd.

Yes, just moved here about a year ago. We are in Creve Coeur....a west suburb, in St. Louis county.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your family member.

Replying to Dave - That's a pretty area! Maybe we can let you know next time we are up for fly-fishing in the area!

[AlbaSurf]

Same here! And I am going to try and recruit some newbies who can learn a lot from the vast amount of knowledge and wisdom that has been shared here over the years! And hopefully contribute some enthusiasm and positive energy!
