IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Here is an update of our lives, as well as some Christmas morning pictures.

Skyler is still contracted with Quizno's Corporate offices working in their on-line marketing department. They even invited us to the our first Cocktail Party for Christmas! Although, it probably wasn't as fun as it could have been since we were just drinking Coke and Sprite! Currently he is also working for another branch of Quizno's as well. He is heading up the team for the internet marketing of THE QUIZNO'S PRO CHALLENGE. Quizno's is working with Lance Armstrong and are putting on a "Tour de France" here in Colorado this coming August. Even though the work load is A LOT with both jobs, along with the companies he is working with through his own business, not to mention I never see him, it is great to see him so passionate about his work and loving it. A few weeks ago he actually spoke at a little Business Women's Seminar and taught them the benefits of SEO. A couple leads came out of it and has since built more clientele for his company, FIRESTARTER SEO. I guess the only downside to having your own business is all the taxes we have to pay as well as our own "benefits." HOwever, Skyler loves it and it is going surprisingly well with this economy.

I am still working for Donn doing his typeset and design. It's perfect because I am able to work from the house while Maddux naps. I recently just finished up a Menu for the South East Denver Embassy Suites hotel Restaurant and Room Service Menu along with some other companies letterhead and business cards. So that is the kind of stuff I am doing and loving it!

Maddux is growing and growing and sort of talking. His vocabulary grows everyday. It was interesting the other day because I have been concerned about him not forming ENGLISH sentences and only saying one word in "our language" along with a gesture to get his point across. Then I came across our friends blog and she said she thought it was common for kids to develop quicker in certain areas than others. So my conclusion from this idea is that Maddux is going to be a great athlete! This kid has an arm and to say the least a very, very, VERY proud Daddy!

Okay, here are pictures from Christmas!

Daddy and Grandpa Donn built a train table for Maddux, however the train did not get here in time! Luckily, Gigi got Maddux a toy and saved the day!







The Monday after Christmas the train came and we set it up then brought Maddux out to see it. A month later, he is still playing with it EVERYDAY!
