The Engine Pull

Ricky worked so hard cleaning the engine. This was definately Ricky's favorite part.

Eddie Ray worked so hard acking up the car. It was hysterically with each pump his whole body would come off the ground. All the boys had a hand in getting the engine out.

Beloved Blackie

Our beloved Blackie is having Kidney issues. Our hearts are breaking as that is what took our Simba on January 15, 2007. Simba was 2 weeks of watching him starve and being to lethargic to eat or move. We are hoping we can turn this around with him due to the fact we noticed it earlier. So he got his antibiotic shots, and now is on prescription food. He has lost 15lbs since April. Blackie will be 13 this March. For those non animal lovers this may not seem like a big deal, but to a family who considers their pets a member of the family it's huge. So keep him in your prayers.

Changes

Well first I'd like to say Lil Dan went out for Cross Country. His best time 8 minutes 15 Seconds. He came in 8th place in a Metro Meet. Also Dan is out for Flag football again, now he's a Panther. Once again does an outstanding job of getting in there. Lat night 3 touchdowns and numerous flags.
Now the Big Change I have a job. I work for Waterloo School Systems, I am currently subbing as a Hall Monitor at West High. Those who knew Me in High School will find this highly ironic. Life has a tendency to come full Circle.

My quirkiness

The idea I believe is to list 6 quirks of mine. Sorry it took so long to get around to this.
1. I can not drive a car in any season without my window down. (particularly makes my husband crazy. Grandparents are not thrilled either)
2 & 3 They go together. I must sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door. And I must always face the door at night. I'm pretty sure that constitutes two)
4. Every thing in my house must have balance. Check out my walls some time. Another thing that drives my husband crazy.
5. I can sense if a door is unlocked at bedtime.
6. I can not stand complete silence.
