A Few Updates

So what is new for our happy little family?


-Grandma is still back in Iowa so Grandpa is babysitting. Kassi always says great grandma sick, grandma take care of her, bumpa take care of me.


-Kassi and I went in yesterday and got our H1N1 vaccinations. Since I fall in a high risk category I was able to get the inactive vaccine, Kassi was just out of the high risk, but they went ahead and gave her the inactive vaccine as well, per my request. Wes says he won't be getting his since he would get the active he doesn't see the point. I guess I agree with that as well. Just take his chances at least Kassi and I should be safe.


-Kassi refuses to use the potty for my dad. Yet she still tells me and uses it when I ask her to. Today he set a pair of her panties in the bathroom as a reminder for her. She knows too, she looks and them and says "wear those when I use potty all the time."


-Wes has to go to Billings three times in the next two weeks to take ASE tests. Each time he will be driving home late. This always makes me nervous, but at least he is not gone all night then.


-Kassi's new things: "Hello, my name is Kassi Hanson." She almost has her address down too. Usually it ends up something like "13 2 street cody." She can count to 15 now! She sings many songs now. She tattles on bumpa "Bumpa watch Gunsmoke all day long." I know there are many more things, but right now that is all I can come up with.


-I have been busy at work planning our Christmas and Awards Banquet, trying to transition someone new into my place as the chair of our Christmas Decoration Committee, working on annual reminder letters for residents/business owners and trying to find time to update my ever growing and changing list of how to's with the hopes of taking vacation someday and not needing to worry about logging in to do this or that while I am off.


-We will be getting a new puppy in the late spring, early summer. I put a deposit on an English Setter pup from a litter that is planned for that time. The place we will be getting her from had some puppies available this fall, but we decided it would be better to wait until Wes is off of snow call and it is a little warmer outside. They will likely have a couple of litters available to choose from. Our poor Daisey dog is completely blind at this point and I am not sure how she will react to the new addition, but it may help her out. Maybe the puppy can be a new set of eyes for her and help her get around.
