All I want for Valentine's Day is my 4 front teeth!

Hi Ross Family!
I wanted to show you my new smile! I had to have all 4 of my top teeth pulled. It was a little hard to talk at first but I'm used to it now. I haven't put any of my teeth under my pillow yet. What do you think the tooth fairy gives for 4 long rooted teeth? I'll let you know when I find out. It is hard to eat apples. Have you guys lost any more teeth? Jack hasn't lost any yet. He may have to have teeth pulled like me too.
I need to go! Hope all is well.

Our future roller coaster "engineer"

Gavin - This is the double racing roller coaster I put together. It is really cool. It has a chain that brings the coaster up the big hill and then they race thru the track. It was pretty hard to put together. I made it with help from my Dad. I wish you were here to play with it with me. There is also one more track design you can make with it.

Thanks for calling me on Saturday. It was fun talking with you on the phone. Call me again sometime when you get a chance.

We are on our second day off school because of a BIG snow/ice storm. I got to meet the new neighbors next door. They came out to play in the snow with us. The big brother was nice. The younger one was a little bossy. I'll give him another chance though.

It would be cool if you could send me a picture of you in your spy gear. Sounds neat.

I need to go take a bath. Mom says we will probably have school tomorrow.

Talk to you later,

Jack

Blog Author?

Hey there....I will read your comment to Jack. He will be happy to know that he is "actively playing" with your kids even though he doesn't know it. I guess I sent you an open invitation to be a blog author on my blog. Is that the same as making you a contributor? If not, where do I go to do that? I'm glad you suggested this as I was thinking there was no way for Gavin to communicate back to Jack with pics, etc. This will be great. I spent all afternoon and early evening trying to get our computer working. Bug with windows installer. Soooo frustrating. I want to blog some pictures but I can't today. Have too much to do with not getting anything done yesterday. Let me know if I need to do something else to get this going. Jack will be very excited. Glad you are feeling better.

Hope you are feeling better...

Our computer has been at the "doctor" since last Wednesday. Setting up a new computer and transferring files is no fun. Still not totally up and running.
I hope you are feeling better by now. It is NO fun being sick and not having anyone to help and I'm not there to reprimand you if you are not getting adequate sleep.
I can't wait until you get the unlimited calls! I'm so excited!!!!! I can't wait to get caught up.
Once we get our printer set up (saying not compatible with our operating system) I want to scan a copy of Jack's New Year's wish he completed at school. It brought a tear to my eye and I think you will enjoy it. Soooo sweet.
Well, I met the new "neighbors" living in your house. I will start by saying they are not the
"Rossis" (as Jack writes it) but seem very nice and friendly. Their seven year old son was not exactly what I was hoping for. I'll fill you in on the phone. I'll just say he is very into Thomas the trains...I mean REALLY into them. Would have been great for Jack a few years ago but not so much now. They seem to be taking good care of the house.
I"ll try to post something soon. Just wanted to see if you were feeling better. Hugs from the Queen City!

I did it!

I figured out how to get a smaller photo but now have to work on centering title. Not as easy to setup as I was hoping. How are the kids liking their new school and neighbors? Are you getting the house set up as you would like? I miss not being able to pick up the phone to chat with you.

Help!!

I imported a picture for header but can't figure out how to resize it. I wish you were here to help me. Could you help me?

Our roller coaster engineer

Hello! Jack got a HUGE smile on his face when I read him your comment. He wanted to tell Gavin that we got a Wii for Christmas. A Mii has been set up for each of your kids when they come to visit this summer! He also received a Knex double dueling roller coaster. Jack wants me to upload the photo for Gavin to see. I'll try to figure that out once we get all our files transferred onto the new computer. Hopefully this week...

Okay, I'll be honest, Jack and I first responded above as a comment. I copied it and pasted as a post. Amazing how much you can figure out when you don't have 3 kids hanging on you asking eight million questions! Did you see that I figured out how to become a follower of your blog? Pretty cool. This blog is created for our family to keep in contact with your family. Nothing more. I may give our blog name to my Mom but that is it. Now I am going to try to add photo of Jack the roller coaster designer...fingers crossed. Wouldn't you know, batteries are dead in camera so I can't download. I'll charge and try again later.

Hi Ross Family! Our Christmas present to you....a Bertke blog...or the first steps towards one. Definitely will be a work in progress. Jack and Reagan are very excited to start communicating with you guys. Hope all is well. Hugs and kisses from the Queen City!!!
