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

Macky's B-day

Well, McKenna turned one earlier this week. We have everything from the basement upstairs so we didn't have a party for her. She got shafted. But here are some pictures. She is also walking now. Getting old.

Madison is turning into a little diva herself. She can say complete sentences, count, sing ABCs. Still working on the dressing herself and potty training. She is getting excited for tennis this summer and the lake. We will see how it goes. That girl has more energy than she know what to do with.

Tracy has been applying for jobs in GF. We want to eventually move back there, but there are really no good jobs for her, unless she takes a big pay cut. So we will keep you updated on that situation.

We are also putting our house on the market this summer. Well hopefully in a couple of weeks. Our plan is that Tracy has a job in GF when the house sells. Plan B is to get a townhome or a apartment until Tracy gets a job in GF. That way we can get up and move with no commitments here. Plan C is to get a new house if Fargo. If the right house opens up in the right neighborhood in Fargo we would be tempted stay in Fargo. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Tracy and I also spent 4 days in Milwaukee last month. Zac and Jordan brought us to some really cool pubs and restaraunts. We will forsurely be going back there again. We had a great time.

But the flood has been comsuming our thoughts and time that last couple of weeks. River is supposed to crest again next weeks then we can put this behind us and get back to some consistancy.

It was my b-day yesterday. Happy Harrys was having a big sale so me and Tracy went there to check it out. We got 12 bottles of wine, liter of smirnoff, 24 pack of bluemoon. For 70 bucks. Can beat that. I guess the party is at our house. Anyways, hope everybody has a great easter.

Madison is 3

Madison had her 3rd birthday party last weekend. She had a blast and got a lot of gifts. We went to Chucky Cheese. She was a little shy at first but had fun putting the tokens in the machine. I was also surprised that the pizza wasn't that bad, overpriced, but not that bad.

Next Thursday, Tracy and I, leave for Milwaukee. Going to spend 4 days there visiting Zac and Jordan. Josh is also coming. Should be a blast. It's going to be the longest that we have both been apart from the girls. Weird.

Also, mother nature dumped a ton of snow on us last night. Not good considering that my snowblower broke its belt last week. Not good for Robby. Anyway, the neighbor is renting a bobcat tonight and hes going to dig us out. Here are some pictures. It took me a long time just to dig a path for Tracy to get to work this morning.

Lunak Family

Well not much new at the Lunak household. McKenna did learn to crawl since my last posting. So you have to keep a close eye on her now. We also bought a Touareg. Which I wasn't to big on at first, but now I love it.

Here are some pics.
Some action shots of Madison jumping off the couch. She loves to jump, or as she would say "jump it"
Later
