Only a few days left until we elect a new President and the air is tense. Who will America choose? On one hand, you can choose a candidate who is fresh, has new ideas and a passion to bring something different to our country. On the other hand, we have a candidate who has lived thru many eras, Mesozoic, Neolithic etc etc who has alot of great ideas that have been around a long time that work really well.....like creating a wheel, using stone tablets to write and that sort of thing. It really makes this decision of who to choose a very difficult one. One can only hope that the people who live in and love this country make a decision that they can live with. I for one am voting for a candidate who has not been given the recognition deserved for all the accomplishments made and promises kept. A candidate that continues to impress day after day with award winning charm and wit. Someone who I could see being friends with, someone I could confide in, someone who deserves to win. I am proud to announce my vote for our next President, Hillary Clinton.

What?!

What do you mean she's not running anymore?

Crap!

WORD UP!

Good Friday Morning! I am off to work in a few minutes at my new job with Verathon in the finance department. I have been there nearly one month now and am finally getting the hang of things. It's hard to be away from my beans, but exciting to begin a new adventure and be around adults again...I forgot what it was like! It's nice going back to work for a company that seems to care so much about the health and welfare of their employees too. The girls have been doing very well at daycare, McKenna getting right back into the groove that she was in when she went there before Lilah was born, and Lilah...well she is a mommy and daddys girl and is having a hard time at pick up and drop off, but other than that she seems to be fairing well. All in all, I think it will be good for the whole fam that I am working full time, it's going to be great for the girls social development to be in daycare and it's nice to "get a break" from home stuff for me. In other news, my mom is getting very close to her finally surgery to remove the cancer from her body and she has been feeling much better lately. She's got very cool Jamie Lee Curtis hairdo and has been in good spirits lately. My dad is doing well to. He should be getting some additional prosthesis for his foot and is getting around a little better with each passing day. Things are looking up for everyone in these parts. Hooray for that!



Well, I suppose I should go to work to push some paper. Hope everyone is well. Have a Happy Halloween!
Love,
Jaime



If you don't stop and smell the roses once in awhile...

Jaime started work at her new job on Monday. She now works for a global medical equipment manufacturer based out of Bothell. She's working full time now during the day so we had to put McKenna & Lilah in daycare. Luckily, McKenna's last daycare had 2 openings so we were able to send them both to someone we know and trust, and that McKenna really loved before. They went for 3 days and both seemed to do really well.

Jaime, Jeni, McKenna, Lilah and I went to the Puyullap Fair a few weeks back. It was really fun, especially after we started going on the rides. McKenna loved any and all of the rides, especially the fast and jerky ones. We must of went on the super slide a dozen times. We've been to the zoo a few times this month and Papa, Jaime, McKenna, & Lilah went to the Pacific Science center a week or so ago as well.

Our front yard is looking really nice. There are still a few spots where no grass has come in, probably because I burned it using too much fertilizer. So we're overseeding those areas and hope to have grass in the whole yard by the time it starts to get cold and turn to crap again.

We've also started in on the reface of our fireplace, which if I do say so myself is looking awesome.

It doesn't seem like there are many hours in the day lately. Besides work, we've only got about 2-1/2 hours Mon-Fri for family time, and although the weekends are mostly wide open, there are usually projects that take up good chunks of time. That and the daylight hours are waning.

I don't usually rant much on here, but can I just say, WTF (excuse my abbreviations) on Sarah Palin? Did you see any of the interviews she did with Couric or Gibson ? Although she wasn't as much of a train wreck as I was thinking/hoping she would be in the debate, she didn't actually answer any questions she was asked. What is this country coming to if a person who is so clearly not ready to be a leader of our country can get on a presidential ticket and then still have a chance to win. I don't think half of the country even has a brain of there own. Please, for my childrens sake :) , vote Obama/Biden 2008, anyways...I digress...

Well, sleep is also in short supply lately, so I best be off to it. Until next time.
