More from Stewart

Stew is always saying and doing funny things. He was at Grandma Kathi's house the other day, and while eating a bowl of cereal, stated, "Look Grandma, I'm a vacuum!", as he slurped his cereal. Great, so we need to work on manners.
Just after dark the other day, we called the boys in for dinner. Braden and Chris came bounding in the door, but Stew was not to be found. We went outside and called his name, searched everywhere, but no Stew. We went inside, called his name and looked everywhere we could think of, but no Stew. Then my nephew pulled back a flap of carpet in our basement (we had a little water issue when we first moved in and had to pull some of the carpet back to let it dry out... long story), and there was Stew, fast asleep.
A couple of weeks ago, Dave was repairing the light fixture in our bedroom and had taken the light cover off and set it on the floor. While I was doing my makeup one morning, Stew peeked around the corner and said "Look, mom, I'm a head light!" I couldn't stop laughing. He was wearing the light cover on his head, like a hat.

First attempt at posting a vid

Well - here's our first attempt at putting some clips together and uploading them to the web. Yes, we realize that the background music doesn't match, but we couldn't find anywhere to download the theme song for the three stooges.

The best is yet to come

Well, we're finally back online. We've moved into the house and out of G&G Judd's basement/hair. Finally some hint that things are going to get back to normal. We're so glad to be back close to so many of our friends and family. It's been a long, strange trip over the last couple of years, but one we wouldn't change much of. Of course there always is that house fire we could've probably done without.

I'm currently working at L3 Communications. Apparently it's a really hard name to remember. We're always repeating the company sometimes 3 and 4 times to people. No, I'm not making sticky notes at 3M or climbing K2 or anything related to I15. It's a good job and I'm excited to be moving into a different sector in the industry.

Tiff has been painting up a storm for the last couple of weeks. She's got all the main living areas all done and looking great - which is an amazing accomplishment given that we're also trying to move in and get organized at the same time.

Braden and Chris are adjusting really well to yet another school. Both have friends at school and in the neighborhood already. We're excited for them and looking forward to getting back into the sports come spring.

We sure are grateful for everyone who helped us through this transition. Mom and Dad Eaton who let us store our stuff in their storage unit, and all the help with the actual move. Mom and Dad Judd for coming up to Oregon and moving us down and then letting us invade their empty nest while we sorted out employment and housing. Gary and Ami who let me stay with them so I could work while we nailed down the house. Emily for helping Tiff with the paint, and all those who cashed in some elbow grease to get our stuff moved. It sure is a blessing to be part of such a great family. We sure are glad to be back. We look forward to the future and are glad we get to participate in everyone else's for a change too!
