January Update.......

I haven't done a lot of posting lately because we've been so incredibly busy. We are 85% moved into our new house and we love it here. The kids are enjoying their oversized playroom. I love how the kitchen and livingroom are all open - it feels like we are all hanging out together all the time. It's so nice. We are so lucky to have found this place when we did.


Ric: has been really busy at True North. January is always a great month for people looking to invest in the stock market. All those New Years Resolutions = sales for us! :) He's had a couple really good weeks in a row. He's working long hours and it's paying off.

Meggie: tried out for a role in the theatre version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Although she was picturing her name in billboard lights as the main character, we were proud of her when she earned the role of Charlie's grandmother. She was also selected to be a peer tutor at her school. She was assigned to a 1st grade girl who has special learning disabilities and needs extra help. It's really fun watching her prepare her lessons and put together special treats for her student.


RJ: is busy being a full-time dinosaur/ninja turtle/power ranger and part-time preschooler. He can now count to fifty and knows all his letters. He is so much fun. I just love being the mom of a T-Rex. ;)



As for me.....things have been changing week-to-week. I enrolled in school and started classes in January only to be offered a really great position at True North. After much deliberation, Ric and I decided that the offer was too good to pass up so, starting next week, I'm back at work! I will be back in the financial coaching department working as an account rep for the Stock Investor and OptionsXpress account. Fortunately, the company allows Ric and I to arrange our schedules to work opposite of each other so we can be available to the kids as much as possible. I will be off work at 3pm every day (I start at 7am which, for those who know me, is going to be my greatest challenge!).



Hope every is well. We love and miss you all.

Debbie, Ric, Meggie & RJ
