Jeff's Promotion

Okay, couldn't find another more recent picture of Jeff, so I went for this 'back in the day' pic for grins. Always great to remember where you've come from. Last week CITM announced that Jeff had been tapped to be the company's new Marketing Manager of Acquisition and Retention. It's a big title for a pretty cool position that Jeff is very excited about since it's the marketing research he's so familiar with, but also the more creative side of advertising layouts, new check designs, media purchasing, and licensing. Biggest perk is an upgrade from the cubes to a REAL office with a door and everything. We are all very proud of him!

Fishing with the kids

On Easter evening we decided to unwind by taking the kids fishing at my brother Cody's tank. Madalyn caught 6 fish all by herself, and Beck caught one with his Spongebob Squarepants fishing pole. However, Beck was more entertained with throwing the cowpies at Jeff and Maddy while they fished. =)

Easter

We celebrated Easter at our house with family and friends. It was a fun time and great food as always. The egg hunting was a lot of fun - Madalyn got the most eggs, but Beck got both of the money eggs. Bristol even enjoyed the frog that visited him for his first Easter.

Bristol - 6 and 8 weeks

Bristol changes everyday, and is hanging in there as the youngest of the bunch. He hasn't sustained any permanent damage yet, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Raymond Ranch ... the Beginning

Hello all! We are trying out this blog thing so that we can do a better job of keeping everyone up to date and in the loop with everything that is happening with our family. Especially since we have our newest (and final) addition to the Raymond Crew.

This is a view from our front porch and future site of the 'real' Raymond Ranch.
