I will try to be on top of this now that I think I have this figured out! We'll see how it goes....

David is WALKING!!! Yes, he is everywhere and is loving his new found freedom; he walks around with the biggest smile on his face. He's discovered he can walk up to the dogs and see them eye to eye (except Stanley of course). He has also discovered that Doc likes to give "wet" kisses and will play with him, so he tries to get Doc to chase him. David will walk up to Doc and try to walk away fast thinking he will chase after him - it's cute to watch him interact with the dogs.

I'm sure you have all heard that Verizon has or is in the process of buying Alltel. We are still trying to figure out what that all means, as far as our jobs go, but most likely Anthony will be out of one. Mine, right now, looks like it will still be there but.........

Scott Ford, CEO of Alltel, says it shouldn't been until at least Dec/Jan before the whole deal is signed and completed but a lot of employees that do not have a "customer facing" job are already looking for new employment. Rumor has it that 700+ employees will be laid off, which is scary since Alltel is one of the Top employers in LR. Good news is that HP just announced they are opening a plant in Conway, about a 15-20 min drive from our house via freeway, mid next year that will employ 1200+ We will keep you posted as to what we are planning. A lot of our friends, both husband/wife, or just one of the spouses work at Alltel and will be out of a job. Last I heard 41 houses in West Little Rock (Chanel area) where the "rich" folk went on the market on the same day!!

Anyway, we are doing great! We are going to NJ at the end of July for week and are really looking forward to visiting Anthony's family - only his mom, dad and sister Michele have met David.

Sorry this video is sideways and a little shaky!
