I'm back

After 3 weeks of being laidoff. I got called back to work this week. I officially go back this Monday. It has been nice not worrying about the phone ringing at any time to go to work and staying home with the girls. Anyways it was a nice little vacation.

I also forgot to mention that I won the Lunak fantasy football league this year. 2 years in a row. Looking for some new blood next year if anyone wants to join. Its fun and you don't need to know much to play.

I also dusted off the old racket stringer last weekend and strung up one of my old rackets. It had broken string in there since 2001. But it's as good as new now. I also am asking for a new racket for my b-day coming up in April. Getting ready for the old doubles partner to get to town. I'm also thinking that Madison is going to start learning soon and I should have a racket ready.

Later

I'm off the Facebook

Well I officially quit Facebook this week. Hopefully I can start posting here more often now. Got lazy.

Well the Lunaks had a good xmas. Madison and Macky got some good gifts. I'll post some pics. I got a new camera, which I really wanted. We spent a weekend in GF before xmas and spent xmas eve and xmas at Tracy's parents on Ottertail. It was really nice to have the time off.

Macky actually sleeps thru the night about 80% of the time now and her favorite word is "NO" Which is great. Can't wait for her to get out of this stage.

Madison is doing really well. She's like a little grown up. She'll tell you everyhing thats going on in her head. She will say stuff like "I think thats a good idea" and "you need to do this.....OK" She too smart for her age. Can't pull one by her anymore.

Tracy is good. Still at Food Service of America.

I'm currently laidoff, but I should be back to work soon. I'm currently a stay at home dad. Which is cool.

Here are some pics

Hello

Just in case anybody still checks this thing, I figured I would post some updates.

First. Tracy is pregant again. Just joking. She isn't.

Second. Madison is potty trained. Thumbs up.

Third. Macky still doesn't sleep thru the night. Thumbs down.

Fourth. Offically are the proud owners of my parents back lot at the lake.

Fifth. Tracy started a new job at Food Service of America. Accounting Manager

Sixth. Decided to stay at our current house until Madison starts school.

Seventh. BNSF still hasn't hired back most of the people at dilworth. I'm working all the time.

Eighth. Currently tied for 1st place in Fantasy Football.

Well thats all I got right now.

Here are some pics of the girls

New post

Not much in the new department at the Lunaks. Summer is going by way to fast. The girls spend a lot of time outside, so the nice weather is not going to waste. Here are some pics of them at the park. The other one is Madison after she got sent to her room. I can't remember what she was doing but she got in trouble, I told her to go to her room for a timeout and she freaked out and trashed her room. 15 minutes later I went in there to let her out and she passed out like that. I guess she was really tired.

Madison's whole potty training took a turn for the worse. She has no interest now in going on the toilet. So we have to come up with something she's getting too old.

Tracy starts a new job at Food Service of America this Monday. She's going to be in charge of there accounting dept. She's really pumped. My job is the same as it's been for the last 3 months. The called a few guys back that were laidoff. So things are slowly improving. Train traffic is starting to increase.

We have a lot and building plans picked out for a new house to build this spring, but we are hesistant to pull the trigger. The builder would buy our house from us to help the process but we are waiting for the economy to improve. We think it's starting to look better but you never know. It's a big investment.

Anyways later

Well we finally got our first family pictures taken couple weeks ago. They turned out pretty well. Things are starting to look up at my work. First time in about 6 months they are actually starting to add more jobs and call people back that were laid off.

The family made it out to Ottertail Lake last weekend to visit the Tamlyn's. We basically were on the lake all day. The girls love being outside. We also boated over to Zorbaz for dinner. They thought it was cool eating on the boat. Madison learned how to play candy land today and can't stop.

Somebody's crying
got to go

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well it's been a weird summer so far. They have laid off so many guys at my work that I'm one of the bottom guys now. It sucks because system wide BNSF traffic is down like 20%, but in Dilworth we are running at about 6% less than a year ago. So management in Fort Worth decided to cut jobs everywhere, even in places that aren't down as much as others. So everybody that still has a job in Dilworth is working there butt off. Morale is really bad. So haven't had that much time to get the house ready to sell, but I'm glad to still have a job. Also work related, I applied for a management job in Bismarck. It's an office job with set hours and days off. I don't even know what that is anymore. So I hope that will come through. They are also laying people off at Tracy's work. She is really stressed out and worried. I don't think she has anything to worry about, but you never now.

We have been looking at alot of houses recently but are afraid to pull the trigger with our work situations right now. We found a smaller 2 story in West Fargo that we both really like. The back yard faces a greenway/park area and there are baseball fields,parks, and a school across the street. It would be exactly what we are looking for. It's just a great area. I'll post a pic.

Madison and Mac are both doing great. Mac can almost run right now. She's a busy bee like her sister. Madison is getting old. She know when people are lieing to her and always has something up her sleeve. They both love the lake. We have made it out there 2 weekends already this year.

Anyways, talk to you later



Oh yeah, I would like to mention that Roger Federer is officially "The Man"

Bagels at State
