"work Todd" might come back!

We'll see....

Todd got promoted! Yea! I'm not one to be grumpy about a blessing. At a time when our country is suffering, money wise, my family has been given a gift. Todd was given a week to think about whether he really wanted this huge undertaking or not. We took a vacation to St. George and hung out with him as much as possible. (I think they just wanted us to get really sick of him so that when he was gone so much in the future we would be O.K. with it). He is now the VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS. He is always going to excel at anything he does. His family is proud of him and his hard work! As far as whether "work Todd" will return, all I can say is

We'll see!

Only Nick!

Nick called me from school today asking me to come and bring him some shoes, I could have sworn he left this morning with shoes on. So why, you ask, would he need another pair? He has tied his shoelaces together so tightly that he can't get them undone. All morning and through recess he has been waddleing around school. 4 different teachers have tried to untie them but couldn't. One of his teachers offered to snip them, but no one may cut the precious shoelaces of his favorite shoes. I let him go to one more recess before I brought other shoes just to make sure it wouldn't happen again! I ended up cuttting his shoelaces!
