Memorial Day

Our good friend, Jonathan, is in Iraq and shares this thought (among many) with his friends and family via email:

“Every day spent enjoying the sunshine under an American sky is a gift from the Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who have given their lives for our freedom and security. This one day a year, out [...]

Busy year..

So you know sorta what we’ve been up to this month. A lot of work going on. We’ve done a tremendous amount of house cleaning and yard work as well as taking care of the family etc.
I’m working on a potentially huge thing, that I really can’t share yet, but will give details as they [...]

I should probably update this thing, eh?

No. I’m not Canadian. But I work with one and even though he rarely says “eh” I always expect him to so I think it for him. lol. Yeah.. it’s one of *those* kind of days.
Nothing much to update though. Jack’s been off in the clouds working on a new project. More about that another [...]

Giving you a PIECE of my mind…

Since we’ve purchased and moved into this house, we’ve had several solicitors about the exterior. Like siding, new windows, etc. The siding is fine and in great condition. But we do have older aluminum windows that we would like to replace. So I welcome anyone who wants to knock on my door and hand me [...]

Yesterday our neighbor reminded us that the city is going to be doing a project on our street and requested us to be sure that no plants were hanging over the curb and that all trees had at least 13 feet clearance from the ground. The notice said if we didn’t do it, they would, [...]

Cooking tip from Casey

This kid of mine has been a hoot lately.

Smart Kids

There’s a flash movie and sound file going around where there’s an “Internet Help Desk” phone support guy trying to help someone with their email. In the end, the helpdesk dude asks the user to put his kid on the phone. Helpdesk dude then tells the kid to fix it and next time her daddy [...]

Yeah, he spoiled me. :D

See?
Edit: there were pictures of my new car stereo and cd changer. They have been removed.

Quick update on the job situation

The roll-over to Jack’s new employer did not go as smoothly as we would’ve liked, and things are still up in the air a bit. But, it could’ve been a lot worse.
Overall, I think the changes will be positive in the long run. At least we hope! As of the 9th of this month, his [...]

Busy Weekend and New Employers

Jack should be getting his offer today and will soon be switching over to a new employer. It’s a scary and exciting time! We already know the hospital signed the agreement so one way or another, Jack’s employer will change. Hopefully they have similiar benefits and such. That part worries me. Same job, new employer.
