Here is the new house! This was alittle after Christmas.......


Well, OK WOW I haven't written since before the move!LOL It is now Jan.3 2006! :p

Kirah 's 1st gymnastics competion went great On that Sat.! What a little champ!We are so proud of her!On Sunday the paperwork didn't go smoothly at all with our old house, nothing but problems!! So glad to be rid of it! Everything with our new house has been such a blessing! God doesn't move you backwards, he takes you forward!!! So onto a better life.We had a good bunch of people to help us move, Christine M., Brian LaVacca,Jim P.,Brian G. and Kristy,and Eddy L. A great big thanks to all. Couldn't have done it with out you!
It took about 3 weeks to get all unpacked (and I mean the all stuff we use on a regular basis.)I Was doing about 20 boxes a day! The garage is still in boxes, the shed, and stuff in the basement. But our everyday lives are not affected by what is still packed.Eventually we'll do that.
Anyways, We love it here. House,location,job, and school! God has big plans for us for 2006. I just know it!
Since we moved in Kirah has had 3 gymnastics competions all together. She is doing wonderfully! At her last meet, she brought home 1st place in vault and floor, 3rd in beam. Bars she kinda choked alittle *cough* cough*.Well, it is really hard and it takes time to get it right! IT IS OK THO! She is our champion no matter what!
Christmas at our new home was really nice .The children enjoyed Santa's abundent drop off. We had Wayne's sister(Amy), fiance'(Steven), and 2 kids stay with us. Antonio and Vinchenzo (sp?) had a really nice time also. After opening the mounds of presents! Turkey and stuffing got started and the rest of the family came over around 3 for dinning and conversation! Wayne's mom Alina,his dad Ed,his grandmother Bobchi,and is uncle Ed. Anyways, it was a good time!
A few days later My Mom, Dad, and Sister came here from their boating voyage after a about a week from Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. We got to catch up ,and spend at least alittle time together. With me having to work an entire day and part of the evening. We were kinda limited. Although they got to spend alot of time with the grandkids. Kirah was actually sick with a stomache flu. (not pretty). I think Amber drove grandpa crazy!! She didn't let him rest for 5 minutes! LOL .OH and HUGE thanks to dad for putting the bathroom floor in! Carpet in a bathroom just didn't make sense. I don't know what people were thinking! So now I have a nice floor! Thank you Daddy -o!!! They left on Friday last week andBrittany is with us till the begining of March! I am very happy to have her here. I missed her like crazy!
So Here we are in 2006 !!!!! Wooo hooo!!!
We went to the Leeds house for New years. Wayne and Carl and Eddy hung out watching football. Brittany too part of the time. Judy and I watched movies and the children played. So when it was time for the ball to drop everyone got ready. The kids grabbed their pots and pans,and as soon as it dropped we all cheered and the kids ran outside!. OH My gosh, the poor neighbors! They banged their pots covers and bells. Hooted and cheered! They had fun! about 12:10 we went home after that. We got home around 1:30. UGH what a drive!
*Well The new motto for 2006 is*~ Lord I seek your face in 2006~ I think if we did more of that,(just seeking to know him) instead of what he can give us or do for us, our relationship with him could grow in many ways!
Well God Bless You ALL!
Have a wonderful New Year!
