Last sunday in Mantorville
Oh I wish it were this easy...
Greetings,
First we would like to say that everyone who has been affected by the flooding, our prayers are with you. we did not get any water in our house, although our driveway gravel is scattered in the grass and down the street and probally in my neighbors garage. we were very blessed to be completely unscathed by all that water. i watched two rivers run past the house to the north and south.
Ok so here is some news;
Dean has a new job as a Technical Sales Rep for Data-Smart Computers in Rochester (sorry no Macs). This company is one of the pioneers of VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology, meaning been using/selling/installing for quite a few years. This is very exciting, of course we sell PBX style phones (normal land line phones). Basically my accounts are businesses, but I can get great deals on computers! We are authorized HP reseller. We service and sell printers, pc's, switches, routers, networking equip. etc, etc. Still moonlighting as a bartender.
Katie has a new job: Katie now works at Famous Dave's! No more Hubbell House, (yes Angie she worked at Fisherman's Inn for the month of August. you are not losing it!!) In all actuality Katie can work at Hubbell, Fisherman's, or Dave's because she is just that damn awesome and they all want her to work for them! So Amanda, Katie's lifelong friend works at Dave's also and they have opposite schedules so neither has to pay daycare! Many days there are 6 kids in our house! I really think Katie likes having the Ross girls over, after all it has been determined that I have no girl sperm and Katie wants a girl, so these cutie pies are my saving grace!!
The Boys: Wow! Ian sits up for extended periods of time, he's eating cereal, (and ice cream), scooching/crawling, rolling. He is very self entertained for being 6 mos old. He is good about taking bottle for me :{) we call him "Pie" cause he is. Gavin is showing real interest in using the potty, and forms sentences very well, he is very articulate, and such a sensitive boy. He loves to play, and he really likes kitties, (it has taken every shred of my being to keep a kitty out of this house, and has not been easy) he just looks at me so nice and shows me the picture of the fat orange cat and says "Daddy I want this kitty." Logan, well Logan simply knows that he is the strongest person on earth. Logan can pick Austin up, and wrestle him down. Man, nor beast, nor door, nor wall can hold him back. But he is so loving, also he loves his Ian Boy, and always has a hug and kiss if you ask. He also has a will of steel, if he doesn't want to he won't, he knows if he doesn't eat dinner there is no snack, and sometimes he will pound his milk down, and then refuse to eat vegetable. And that's it, hes done. Logan starts preschool this year. Austin, this young man takes on so much responsibility as far as helping around the house with his brothers, the dogs, the rabbit, getting stuff, he is our big helper. Austin is completely in love with fishing, he gets the free Cabelas, and Bass Pro Shops catalogs, he spends his money on lures, line, plastics, etc. atta boy Austin, atta boy. Austin is excited for 3rd grade, I think he is bored. It will be good when school starts! Speaking of school, Katie, and myself are both enrolled at RCTC full time! Imagine, I mean there is so much free time, that .... yea so we are busy, and when I say busy i mean crazy busy. But we can finish up our degrees, and pursue our "American Dream."
Did i forget anything else? probably, but you won't lose any sleep over it!
