Tommy Needs Your Help

Dear Friends & Family,

Most of you recieved this request via e-mail, if you did not it is most likely because I did not have an accurate email. Please read below to see how you can help.

As most of you know, our little family transferred to Georgia with American Family Insurance in August 2009. Currently I am working as a Licensed Marketing Specialist at the District level, but have my sights set on getting my own agency in the Metro Atlanta Area this April. As a part of my interview process, which will take place throughout Feb & March, I have to conduct Market Opinion Surveys with 300 people. It is not a sales call! It is an in-person or over the phone interview consisting of 10-15 questions. Each interview takes approximately 20 minutes. Previously my agency start date was November 2010 so I have to expedite the schedule.

The interview is intended to take place with people who reside within my target marketing area. While those of you receiving this email do not live in Georgia, my hope is that you can still help. With Metro Atlanta being such a transient area, I would not be surprised if you knew someone or possibly several people other than me that live here. It could be an old college roommate, a family friend, a distant relative, a former co-worker; in earnest anyone you think might be willing to take the survey. It may not be possible for you to give me all their contact info, but anything accompanied with a name would work; phone, e-mail, or mailing address. It would also be helpful to know how you know them, as I would explain how I got their info. The info you provide will be kept by me and not sold or otherwise provided to American Family for their commercial use.

Lastly, thank you for your help. You received this letter because Brittany and I appreciate your friendship and more than anything want you to know what we have decided to do.

Thanks,
Thomas A. Schlosser, Jr
American Family Insurance
Licensed District Staff, District 325

The First Flake

 
Well this is the first snow t saw, yeah, hard to notice but there is that single flake by his forhead!

Waiting for the Snow

 
Of course he had no idea what snow was, but he sure did a good job waiting for it!

The Feast 2010

Britt had the great idea of throwing a New Year's Day feast with some of our dearest friends in Georgia. It was more like Thanksgiving than New Year's Day! We think that we might make it a tradition. This is not a picture of everyone as we had another four sitting in the other room. Also, no pics of the food but it was great... Turkey, Ham, Chicken, Mom's Sweet Potatoes, Collard Greens, Black-eyed Peas, Spring Peas, Stuffing, etc, etc...

This is FUN!!!

 
Just one of the many new toys he likes playing with! He is getting better at sitting up too, though he really doesn't ever get up on his own.

I'll get you!!!

 
After eating sweet potatoes he decided that he wanted to touch everything!!!

Did you just take that?

 
Here is the look he gave Britt right after she took his food away... not very happy!!!

Forget the Presents...

So as many of you suspected... t was not so much into the unwrapping as he was eating the wrapping. Here is what he thought of his spoils... notice the bow is in his mouth!

Christmas PJs

Funny story, I asked Britt if these were supposed to be for Christmas...
She said,'Yeah, Why?'
I said, 'Oh, I thought they might be Jewish.'
'Huh?'
'Why don't they say 'Merry'? I mean I would say Merry Christmas but Happy Hannuka.'
'Well I say Happy Holidays!'

Homemade Stockings

 
Britt made hers when she was 16, she made mine last year, and finished t's last night; just in time for Santa!

Christmas Eve Dinner in Seven Courses

Getting There

He's getting around now!!! Britt is not sure she is ready for him to be everywhere!

Meet the Family

 
This pic was from our Thanksgiving Drive-A-Thon, leaving Chicago area we stopped by to meet some of Britt's extended family. Pictured with Britt is Hope, one of her dad's first cousins. Hope showed us a ton of family pics, the majority Britt had never seen.

Lemons... Not Good!

 
For the face you would not guess that he liked lemons, but he kept going back for more. I think that he would have eaten the whole thing if we would let him.

T's Hut

 
T loves this box, he will play, in, on, and around it for hours!

Twice A Day

 
So T loves brushing his teeth, hopefully it will always be that way!

Tasty Tags

 
No matter what it is, t will find the tag and chew on it... they must be very tasty!

Calling All Addresses

Send us a comment if you do not think we have you address... we will be mailing out Christmas cards this week. Don't worry we will not post the comment!

Going Private

Everyone, we are going private, we have had too many people try to make random comments and post offensive links. I am not thrilled, but it doesn't seem like a tracker does much, so we will be making the site private next week. If you are a follower or a friend that checks our blog, make sure I have your updated e-mail ASAP! Thanks!

The Cashier was Blerina

 
Cost: $111.88, We Spent $26.96!!! 76% SAVINGS!!! At the bottom of the reciept it says, "Where Saving is part of the Pleasure." They weren't lying!!!

View from Stone Mtn

 
Here is us atop Stone Mtn. I will not bore you with the history, but you will notice ATL in the distance! We had a blast, it was great to get out and hike in the beautiful fall weather! We actually should have been in shorts or at least short sleeves. And to think it is Nov!

Rice Laughter :)

Little t thought that it was so funny not to eat his rice cereal!!!

Looking Back

 
I have not figured out what summer this was, but I am guessing that it was '93 or '94. From left to right; Me, Ryan Sasse, JD Allen, Denver Allen, David Hastings, Matt Conners, and Brian Anderson.
