Jido's Magical Touch!


Jido came up to see us this weekend and he gave us a suggestion on the toddler bed issue--you just need to have the magical touch!! And, yes, Jido does indeed have that touch, especially with his Calebee! Right to bed for Jido!

New bed ohh boy!




Well, as I was saying earlier, Calebee is getting to be such a big boy now. He is two, and we just reached a new challenge--sleeping in our toddler bed!! My perfect, I fall asleep in five minutes baby, has now become my I love my freedom baby and it now takes about an hour to convince him to stay in his bed!! Any, and I mean ANY, helpful suggestions would be welcome on this!! I am hoping it's a newness thing and it will eventually wear off!

My Business Partners!



Here is Brandi Shepard, my friend and audiologist colleague, who is as sweet as a kitten until you cross her! LOL! She is passionate about her family, friends, and business and will do just about anything to protect them! She is true and loyal and fair, even if life is not fair!




Tom Cichon, my loving husband and also a business partner, is pretty much the same as the above!! Makes for some pretty passionate office meetings, or meetings of the minds, as I like to call them! I am the quiet one who listens to both, and often rely on the wisdom of the other quiet partner Todd, Brandi's husband to help me bring everyone full circle!!




The great thing, for anyone that knows me well, is that since I have these two awesome, outgoing, and opinionated individuals in my life, I the quiet one, am well protected without raising my own voice! How lucky can someone get!


Hi Everybody! Hope you all are having a great day! My business, HearAid Audiology Clinic, just finished up an open house week last week, which was long and grueling, but ultimately profitable for the company. Most importantly, we met and made alot of nice new friends/customers who greatly appreciated the newfound hearing!! The open house showcased the latest technology in the hearing aid world and our new patients really seemed to benefit from it! One patient even teared up! It is so exciting that this technology has come such a long way, and even more exciting that we, my business associate and very good friend Brandi Shepard, can be a part of it! For those of you that I haven't talked to in a while, HearAid has been in business since August 2007 and going strong since! It is alot of hard work but sooooo worth it! Brandi and I have worked out our schedule so that we each work full time, yet are at the office only three days a week each, allowing our office to be open all week and allowing us to be with our babies four days a week! Works so far!! And I can't forget Tom. He is definitely the best business and office manager around. (Or, Worthy Master as he likes to be called)! He works full time at the office and then at night at home alot too!

Caleb

Our baby just turned two!! Guess he's not a baby anymore. This pic was taken on vacation a few months ago. We went to Belize--yes, with a baby! Nobody told me it would be just a bigger, non-childproof place to babysit! Caleb did love the beach though!

New at This

Hi Everybody! Yes, there is nothing on this page yet! I am just learning about this blog business so bear with me!!! I promise I will figure it out, and then if you choose to know what's going on in my world, you can give it a read!!
