ION Geo-something-or-another

Times are changing in the Counts household...we are no longer bleeding Boeing blue. Jacob has verbally accepted an offer from ION Geophysical Corporation in Stafford, Tx. If all goes well with the paperwork (which I am sure it will) he will start there October 22nd. He decided to make this move in order to gain some more technical experience and to actually use those crazy hard circuit skills he learned at Baylor. I am so proud of him for working so hard to make this change happen. It was definitely not easy to leave such an awesome company but I am sure this will be a great change for his career and our family. Yahoo for ION!!!

This is Curtis contemplating the strong side tackle game plan at his first football game. He has serious coaching potential. Look at the concentration on his face!

Family Fun Day

Today is family fun day :) Daddy stayed home to play with us (or he is taking care of us...depending on who you ask) So far we have had a wonderful day playing in bed, taking walks, watching Curtis crawl around the house and mastering throwing his baseball. Curtis has officially started to sign we get a kick out of watching him practice. So far he has signed Dad, Mom, milk, and outside. He is still perfecting all the signs obviously but he definitely gets a kick out of being able to communicate. The real reason Jacob stayed home today is because Curtis has been pretty sick for the last week. He has Coxsackie (sp?) virus otherwise known as mouth, hand, and foot disease. I took him to the doctor on Monday after six days of extreme fussiness and nose run. When the doctor looked in his throat he found lots of ulcers and inflammation. Poor little man! No wonder he has been a fuss pot! Tylenol seams to help quite a bit and hopefully he will be back to his happy self by the end of the week. Another reason Jacob is home is so that he and I have some time to discuss all of his job offers (three in all) and decide what change, if any, we are going to make. I think we need to decide by the end of the week. Have a great Wednesday!
