A Day in the Life

Well, as you all know, we have a pretty normal family. One child, Addy, and our Golden Retreiver, Sadie. We live in Godfrey, IL. Our first 2 years here have been pretty interesting. Let's just say that Jarid has learned A LOT about plumbing, putting in new bath tubs and toilets, and laying ceramic tile. He's done an awesome job with our home and it's really starting to feel like "home".

Our newest accomplishment?...Potty training. Yes, Addy is now potty trained and not even 2 1/2 yet!! We are pretty excited about that. Addy is an awesome little girl. She's 2 going on 10. She likes to read books, watch her shows, and color. Her favorite shows are Faggle Rock, Mickey Mouse Club House, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Little Einstein's, and her newest favorite....Dora. She definitely has a mind of her own and likes to do things herself. She loves to help with anything she can. Her school has taught her so much. She can count to 20 and is learning her numbers in French....although, the only ones she ever remembers are 1,2,3 & 10.....it's pretty cute.

Jarid and I work at World Wide Technology, Inc. I am a Customer Service rep and Jarid works in Infrastructure Management as a Systems Administrator. He works really hard at his job and has gone from Customer Service to the position he's in now in about 2 1/2 years. Addy and I are very proud of him. Me, on the other hand, well....I've only been there for about 5 months, so give me some time. We both love the company we work for. It's a great place with a lot of awesome people.

That's about it for now, but stay tuned.....you never know what lies ahead for us Norton's.

Love, Shan
