Todd's New Adventure

Todd was rewarded last week with something that he has been working towards for 13 years... I am sure that you are asking yourself what this might be? Drumroll please.... he is now the Manager at ABC Supply, Freeport branch. He definitely has his work cut out for him as the last manager left the store in a real mess, but I have all confidence that he will turn the store around and be a success! He has worked many hours the last week and a half getting the store ready for inventory and it went wonderful... I think this is just an example how he can get the guys working and get things done! Many congrats to all of his hard work!

Family Pics 2009

We had our family pics taken at Krape Park last month... and, of course, we had to include our new family member! My niece, Kili, has started a photography company... so we did have her take our pics... It was a gorgeous day and Todd did get involved more than planned. I know that he doesn't look too happy in some pics, but he did start smiling sometimes. I have heard that owners choose their dogs because they look somewhat like them... Look at Roscoe and Todd in the pics as they look miserable to be there. We had a wonderful time and thank Kili for capturing these wonderful photos! Enjoy!

Halloween 2009

Zoe was a rainbow princess.

Cole was bumblebee from the Transformers movies.

Cole and Zoe enjoyed trick-or-treating again this year... even though we couldn't stay out very long or go very far due to Cole's knee injury.

Cole's New Friends

Cole was playing tackle football with his friends a few weeks ago and injured his knee. We didn't think it was serious until 2am rolled around and he was screaming in pain because he couldn't walk on it... So Todd and Cole headed to the ER. He had strained muscles on both sides of his left knee cap. I had enough of him after 2 days of being home and talked the dr into giving him a knee immobilizer as I didn't want to send a 7 yr old to school with crutches. After 2 weeks of no gym or recess and taking it easy at home... he has recovered with virtually no pain.

And everyone was wondering why I hadn't updated the blog lately??

Ears Pierced Again!

Zoe decided one Sunday a few weeks ago that she wanted her ears pierced again. Remember that we attempted this 2 1/2 yrs ago and one ear was so infected that we had to remove them. She is doing a wonderful job of taking care of them and they are beautiful (and no problems)!
