Canada and colds!
Posted in Daddy B, Walker, Will | 3 Comments »As I sit here (should be eating breakfast) I am listening to the sniffles from Will and the coughs from Walker. Seems that we all caught the cold Papa Paul was trying so hard NOT to give us. Oh well. It gives me an excuse to be in my pajamas at 9:00am which I always appreciate!
It has also meant that I’ve been able to do a few posts – though not all of the ones I want/need to do! Still, some is better than none
Eric is having a great time in Canada! Many of you have asked how he job is going and why the heck is he in Canada?

Well, as you all know we took the job down here in CA at Wilden both because Eric felt a good connection with the company and because we hoped it would take us international (specifically to Asia!). Eric has done incredibly well in the short year he has been there including a grade-level promotion, a raise, and a sweet bonus. Over the past year Wilden has acquired several other companies and is now in the midst of creating a new parent company (Pump Solutions Group). This new company, PSG, is merging all of the employees from the several companies, including Wilden. With this change Eric was given the opportunity to become the District Manager for Western Canada!
At this time we are not sure if a move to Canada will happen, or when it will, but it seems likely that if it does it will be within the next six months to a year. For the time being he’ll work out of the corporate office like he does now. So Eric is up in Canada making friends with all the new people he will be working with. He seems to be loving it although they are putting in long days and he misses his family (and we miss him!).
It’s all pretty exciting stuff…well, except for the colds. Speaking of which. I’d better get some stuff done around the house including getting out of my jammies! I can only do that for so long…
