Culiex Live


Well, we've "movie-starred" our names from Chris, Julie and Alex into CULIEX. Apparently it is the new, hip thing to do. And we are nothing if not new and hip.

We had a great summer filled with swimming lessons, gym classes, trips to the park, and lots and lots of time in the backyard playing at our water table and in the baby pool. Alex's obsession with all things electronic continues. We're thinking of enrolling him early in ITT Tech if this affinity continues.

We had a great trip to Wisconsin, where Alex went to his first county fair. We spent a lot of time playing with Grandpa Gordy and Grandma Judy, and listening to Aunt Sarah play the violin. Alex also met his cousins Kaleb and Kennedy for the first time. He enjoyed playing in their police car more than he enjoyed playing with them......so much that we bought him one when we got home. He spends a lot of time servicing it in our family room - with both juice and gasoline.

Chris has been busy working - his move to Keller Williams has really been a good one for him. It's a very motivating company filled with lots of opportunities to grow. He is currently the director of agent education, as well as mentor to a few new agents, in addition to being a full-time agent working 7 days a week. He still enjoys spending Fridays with Alex and is now the master of the sippy cup - getting Alex to drink both juice and milk from it no problem... which is something Julie has not been able to accomplish as of yet.

Julie goes back to work tomorrow for her last year as a mentor teacher. After that....??? Maybe go back into the classroom, maybe pursue other opportunities outside SMMUSD, maybe stay home full time......we'll see what opportunities come our way.

More to come from CULIEX......
