Roger

"Runway 2-7, its a roger!" I laughed this morning as Nate was saying this over and over again, I think he has heard people say 'roger' when then are doing radio...any way, it could be a new thing to describe a bad take off, "now that was a roger!" ...grimace...cry...
Sorry, by the way if you know of a Roger that you know and love, no offense meant. If you know a Roger, that you know and love, it could also be a statement used in a positive way, "that was a Roger!"...smile laugh...

As I was dressing Engie this morning I was amazed how big she is getting. I looked at her long torso, and remembered that little 7lb baby I had nearly 2 years ago. Funny how over time they grow, but day to day you just don't notice it. She is talking so much and for the most part you can converse in small sentences with her. She started say "OK". Which is quite funny.

Best be off to manage the tyrants!

64 degrees in January?

We have enjoyed record high temperatures here today, the kids loved being reaquanted with the outdoors. Here are some pics of them on the soppy wet ground. There are also some pictures of just last week. Ya gotta love the 4 seasons here and all the inbetweens.

Christmas 2007

We had a great Christmas and holiday season. This year was so fun because the kids really got into it, and Nate especially understood what was happening. My folks came up to spend the holidays with us and the rest of the family. This made Christmas extra special for Nate and Engie. They loved having grandma and grandpa (mama, as Engie called them). Engie got a doll, that is a little too close to life, it cries until you hold it and give it a pacifer or bottle.
Here is our family at Jill's house for Christmas. No matter how hard we tried we couldnot get a decent shot.
Nate got an airplane set and the look on his face is priceless!

Early Dec update

Well, today is Sunday and I was on call Friday (called in from 9-12), On call Sat (called in from 2-5), and I work today from 3-11! After that I don't work very much for the rest of Dec, so not so bad I guess. We have been busy with Kevin finishing up this semester from, well you can call it what you want. It has been crazy and feeling like we need to get to know eachother again! On a positive note I found a flat top beige stove on craig's list that replaces our other stove that was quite old and the door didn't close. Engie of course was interested in seeing how that worked, so we thought for saftey it was time. We got a good deal and it works great! We also purchased a new couch and chair that should be coming this week Tuesday, I am so excited! We have had hand me down living room furniture since we got married. Since I have difficulties spending large sums of money, I freaked out it first, but we need it and have been saving and preparing for it for a long time. Yeah, perhaps I will post pictures of these new items.

On another note, the paper I have been working on for the state has taken yet another turn and I have a new outline. I am thrilled to say I was able to pump out the new version in 1/2 hour, now I have to do re-working to get it to register at a 6th grade reading level in Microsoft! Kevin is off with the kids today so I can get that done before Monday. I have a deadlines of Dec 21, so I should be done by then on it! Yah hoo! I am dreaming of getting back into hobbies, like reading and knitting. Best be off!

Thanksgiving in Iowa

We had a great time at Thanksgiving in Iowa with a whopping 13 people in one house! We kept very busy and it was chaotic, but always a hoot to watch the kids play. Nate played non-stop with Nick on the tractors. Apparently, we never captured him on pictures. So he is included her at a picture from home in leaf pick up. Which reminds me, we really need to get out there and do more before the snow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween

A kitty/couger/cat with faded wiskers. The tail is the cutest part...can't be seen on these pictures...
Builder/Construction worker on a firetruck

The gang, minus Nate, notice the costume Nick has on...two construction workers, ready to pound and cause havok when needed. Jaden, kept making very dramatic poses for a princess face. Engie, is matter of factly being cat. Lily is a cute little dorothy "and her little dog too" (for more drama say the quoted portion with a witch voice).
