Baby update

Well, I have heard from a few people that they love the Blog, and I have heard from a few people that they do not know how to get here and that they preferred the baby updates over email... it is because of that that I have decided to do some form of hybrid and just do both... I am a man of compromise!!!

Lots of stuff new here... I got the mini-van, and so far we have had it for almost 3 weeks and it has not stalled once yet. I think this is some form of record for us with new cars, we never have good luck.

Nik is growing like crazy, being just over 13 lbs now (I guess about 8 KG or so). I call him little Chub Chub. His cheeks are super cute, and he actually has some fat on him.

Nate is starting to talk more and more. He is now saying animal noises and we are slowly starting to teach him how to count. Our hesitation with teaching him to speak is that once we teach him he will not stop. I base this concern on genetic data, and all that have met Andrea will know what I am talking about.

Andrea is doing great. She got a job at a local coffee shop and is looking forward to spending some time with adults while making a bit of extra money to help us out. This should also help support her new addiction of children clothing shopping. I belief that, similar to a fly fisherman who is after the elusive pike, or the stamp collector in search of that great find, Andrea has made it a hobby to find the best prices for kids clothing, and whether the kids need it or not is really just a formality...

Personally, I am doing well. I am yet again in an argument with Air Canada, but then again - who isn't. I send a letter of complaint to them, and was astounded to learn that they will respond in 15-20 business days. I suspect that this delay is due to one of three reasons..

1. They are sooo inundated with complaints that there is simply no way that a full staff could ever handle this amount of legitimate complaints.
2. The amount of complaints that they have, and the lack of support that they are willing to give makes it very difficult for them to maintain staff for longer then a shift or two.
3. This is a delay time implemented to allow customers who have been wronged on multiple levels during the flight that they are complaining about to cool off and not rip the agent who is calling's head off.
4. They simply don't care about their customers, since they have a majority of the planes in Canada.

I suspect it is all four, but we will see... I am contemplating sending the letter down to Westjet to see if they have a better customer service department. They might get a laugh out of it too.

Well everyone, I have to keep it short today,
