A new adventure

I am now an Independant Sales Representative for AVON. I love their products. And so much has changed now. They now have kids gift items, clothing, accessories, hair care products, mineral make-up, MARK products, Curves products and so much more. I'm looking forward to learning more and having a booth at fairs or other events. I'm also planning on doing some AVON Fund-Raisers. A Fund-Raiser can earn 30-40% for an organization, kids sports team, school, etc...

My personal webpage for avon is http://www.youravon.com/danalarkin.
And my email address is avonladydana@ymail.com. You can shop online and
have orders delivered directly to your home, or contact me to sponsor a Fund-Raiser, party, product consultation, or if you want a book delivered to your home. Happy Shopping! :)

Update

It's been a long time and a crazy spring and summer. After combining 2 families in December, we decided that we needed to move to a bigger place (A two bedroom apartment didn't really work too well for 5 kids and 2 adults). Evan's little sister turned 1 in April and we moved to Hawley, MN at the end of May. We are renting a home here. It's not a huge house, but we have more space and a backyard for the kids to play in. I've heard that the school district here is great. The kids are excited to start school in September. We had a busy summer with baseball and soccer here in town.

Everything seems to be healed from Evan's surgery. Not quite sure if this is the end though, as the Dr. seemed to think that the ear canal had narrowed a little again during healing. He seemed to he hearing much better, but sometimes he seems to not be hearing so good. Don't know if that's just him acting out behaviorally, or if he really isn't hearing us. I'll try to keep everyone updated.

2nd Surgery

Evan had his second surgery on his left ear on January 22. All went well. Surgery only lasted an hour. The gauze was stitched in this time, so it wouldn't fall out early like it did the last time. And he didn't get sick from the anesthesia. I was quite surprised. We went to the hospital at 10 am and we were home by 3 pm. It went very smoothly. Evan was already back to his usual self and his usual energy level before supper. So far the healing process is goin well. We just saw the Dr. again a couple of days ago and he took most of the qauze out. There was still some in there and we are to continue putting drops in his ears twice a day and have an appointment to go back in two weeks. I'll try to do a better job of keeping everyone posted this time.
