The Fall is coming the fall is coming.

Jumping back into fall again, the leaves are changing, the kids are back in school, the summer has ended.... sigh.... I have nothing to complain about though.  The summer flew by, a growing baby, new house, wonderful daughters, lots of work, family visiting from everywhere, my beautiful wife getting her masters degree.  We did have a good time.  It is always a shock to see the season end, the beginnings are easy.  So much time ahead to enjoy but when it is over a sigh is needed.  Now lets talk bout the other stuff.  Kyanna is volleyballing, Alexis is volleyballing, Alysia is working at Metro West with Mom and Dad ( We are taking over ) and Brayden is The Monkey.  Everyone is growing up and maturing so fast, except me I refuse, and I sometimes feel my age.  I still think I am 12 and definitely "Think" like I am 12 but I feel old.  It is just the weather the fall is coming...... oh god I am old if I blame it on the weather..... but I think young.... back to the PSP and Iphone I got some games to play.  It was a great summer, try not to hurt yourself when you Fall!!

Can I say that Brayden is the cutest little monkey!!!! I know fathers pride, love, yada yada, yada..... but he is really cute just like all babies are cute.  His little elvish looks and smiles make all the diffucult times worth it.  I can't imagine a time when he was not with us, as an embeeoh or baby.  This picture was when Kim was going to work and I was getting her lunch together and all she kept asking for was Brayden so I tucked him in her lunch box and presented him to her..... He thought it was funny and just settled in....  I love him so much.

The green grass is growing, some sweat, failures, and success is on the way.  We are so excited to have it done.  Brayden has spent some time on the deck while I work and the dogs are itching to tear up the new lawn.  Either way, it looks great and am very proud, thank you to my beautiful wife for helping and picking stuff out, and letting me do it..... if feels good deep inside.

LETS GO GREEN!!!!

Well the yard has commenced.....  From the barren wasteland to hopefully the garden of eden that we all hope for.  Of course the day to start had to be the first blazing, blow torch, furnance like day that we always get around here.  95 in cornelius oregon is just not right!!!   So the weeds are gone, the area leveled and the obligatory trip to Fred Meyers is done.  Peat Moss here we come.  I long for the green grass of home to actually be in my yard!  So I hope to have pictures for you of the changes.  I envision Brayden kicking it in the yard and want it done NOW!!!!! Hopefully the family will be able to come to my house for once to hang out and enjoy.... so viva la grass!!!!

Just some pictures!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEeee

The end of the beginning for me.

I am getting ready to go back to work again.  This period of time that I have spent with my beautiful wife, daughters and son has been amazing.  I wish so bad that I was independently wealthy so that it would not end but alas it is.  My heart aches to think of the time away from our new son and the times he will be growing and changing when I am working.  My family has grown and changed so much and all for the better and I don't want to miss it..... The tears gather as I think of the time away.  I understand the necessity of it but it still pulls at my heart.  Will he remember me, will they forget the time we have had together.  I hope things will be fine and I won't miss things.  I love that they will be waiting for me when I get home.... it is hard to cope with.   I will miss the 24/7 times that we have had....... To my loving wife......  I love you and have had the best time together that is possible.  I love you so much, need you so much, can't what for the next time we can be together for a long period of time.  I love you.  Brayden..... don't grow up without me..... please.......................

Back home again

We just got back from Newport after Kim had a short conference with a subsidiary of Metro West.  She said that it was a good meeting and things went well.  Newport is nice but without good weather it is not beautiful...... oh did it rain.  Welcome to the Oregon coast in April.....  Sidways rain and wind that moves mountains.   I wish we could go back under better weather.  I love their beach and all the little shops.  Hopefully it will be soon.  This follows on a trip to Sunriver last week.  Once again a beautiful place that is marred by weather, snow and cold that has held it in winter longer that everyone is hoping for.  They were hoping for warmer weather sooner to green things up.  But oh well.... it was nice to get away.   

We are glad to be back home and we love it here.....

Complaint free world.... oh yes!

This idea is wonderful!!! I finished reading Andy's blog again about this and Kim and I have decided to take this to our employer for implementations.  Kim has just finished several conferences with Metro West and has been exposed to many new ideas.  As a line employee and not in a management position I feel like the we field employees could use this kind of idea.  Focus on what is good moving toward more good ideas.  We are in a business were we deal with most people in poor mental states and are not happy to see us in any way.  I hope that if we can focus on the good that we do it will improve us a medical professionals and improve our lives.  Thank you Andy for a great idea
