So after almost three years in our North Carolina Home . . .
Paul has fixed the hole in the wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW you all were expecting a different big announcement, but we don't know anything yet, so I'm having some fun with Paul and w/ y'all :-D
p.s. And in case you didn't know, the hole on the stairs came from a falling, brand new, metal filing cabinet that Paul was attempting to take upstairs by himself, instead of waiting 10 minutes for me to be available. You all know Paul when he's on the train - HE MOVES! Which most of the time is WONDERFUL . . . It's that same drive that has gotten him this far, and it's the same drive that got him through his Masters Degree program. So we'll keep the drive completely!!!
p.s.s Here's the REAL BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Yesterday in the mail, Paul received his official diploma for his Masters in Industrial Engineering from Binghamton University, NY. It's official now, so they have nothing left hanging over his head - YIPPEE!! CALOO-CALAY!! HIP HIP HORRAY!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Gooo Paul!

Shhhhhhhh . . .
Paul's completion of school in the end of May promised to bring greater happiness, and more presence/availability of Paul. Oh the LONG LONG list of projects that finally get to be addressed! Oh the weekend trips to get to know our state more! Oh the clean house that would inevitably come with Paul not doing school work! . . .
Well, we are all definitely happier, major projects have begun, and Paul is ever present and available, however my house is NOT any cleaner because we have had a few more unexpected projects added to the pile.
Many of you already know that Paul will most likely be transferred to a new job w/in Deere, likely located in the Midwest. Though we are grateful for Paul's employment, we are loathe to leave North Carolina - we love it here!
Additionally, and behind the scenes, we are expecting #4!!!
It is a crazy time, and unexpected, so maybe that means it will be a boy, right? :-) We'll see what surprise the Lord has in store for us. We planned to tell you all the fun news in a few weeks when we come to visit, but I just decided to share the news now.
And in case you're curious, I'm 10 weeks along, due sometime in the end of January, tired and sick, and laying around lots . . .
Cheers~

Whether vain or weather vane?
Dad and I are determined (after almost 19 years!) to get a weather vane for our cupola. We are trying to decide between a quail and a duck (coming in for a landing pose), inasmuch as we have both fowl around here. What do you think? If you want to view others, you can check at colonialflag.com or other websites.

Dad-isms
Hello Fam!
What I'd like us to do in this post is come up with a running list of memorable "isms" that our Father has used throughout our lives. I'll start us off with a few examples, and please add to the list!
1) Q: "Whatcha doin', Dad?"; A: "Ridin' a horse."
2) Q: "What's for dinner, Dad?"; A: "Stewed tomato on light-bread sandwiches..."
3) "Well that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."
4) "Sixes an' half dozen of the other"
5) "Suaave and deboner"
6) "Yellow?" (In place of "Hello" on the phone)
7) "Darn Chilean Barking Spider"
8) "Get 'em up scout!"
9) "Whadaya mean 'we,' white man?"
10) "That's dumber than a post" (Note: Allie got the #10 :D )
11) "Well if that's dinner, we've had it"
12) Dad where's mom? "Albuquerque"
13) Dad where's mom? "Died and went to heaven"
14) "vamo(s)no(s) hijo, arriba pa' bajo!" the s's are implied, not used.
15) Q: How was your day? A: "We were busier than a one-legged-man in a rear end kickin' contest!"

Happy Father's Day!!
This is a shout-out to my Padre!
I watched this great message and couldn't help but think of you, Dad. (see http://www.youtube.com/mormonmessages) Thanks for setting a great example for us to follow. Thanks for always taking care of Mom. Thanks for being my hero.
