Mid February Update

Hi,

So it is finally winter here. While the rest of the snow receiving parts of the USA were getting pummelled with snow all winter long, we were getting slight dustings. Nothing to profit from, nothing but a nuisance.

We have about 5 trailers of rock salt stockpiled from last year.

So, finally a snow storm came. It was pretty good, and it iced up too.
Ice melt we sold about 1/5 of what we had in the past couple days, so I am pretty happy about that.

Eleanor is doing great. She received another flu shot this week.
I kind of weighed her in the office. but with clothes on. about 15 lbs.
Still kind of light for her age group. I use a 15 lb bowling ball, so its nothing heavy. She is definitely not that dense.

I have been working a little earlier and coming home a little later, so i havent had as much time to spend with her.

Eleanor is now fully crawling.
She can stand up while holding something.

We got this toy with wheels that she can use like a training walker. it also converts into a little buggy. 19.99 at target. We couldn't resist.
she can stand

or sit.


She is really growing up fast. I kind of do some walking training with her. I told her there is a performance bonus if she walks before 1 years old. hahahaha. jkjk.

I have noticed that eleanor is really perceptive. She can hear things from far away. She has much better listening skills than her mother. haha, sora has selective hearing disorder.

So we setup a 529 plan for eleanor. Its pretty good. For PA residents we can deduct up to 12,000 per married person against out 1040 tax return. I dont know if we will contribute 24k this year. but still its a plus.

i hope my 2008 tax return will be good. I will be deducting big time for the mortgage interest.

Bowling. eh
we are doing ok.

the PBA plans are defn on hold.

Real estate is going well. I am absorbing as much info as possible on the real estate side, and mortgage credit repair side.

ok folks, have a good weekend
