Happy Birthday Ellie

 Today we celibrated Ellies Birthday. She has been blessing to us for 12 years now, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks Gran-gran and Poppa for the Flowers, she loved them, and to all the friends who wished her a happy birthday on Face Book, you really lit it up today.
 
A big thanks to Jen and Gabbie for the cup cakes they were sooo yummie.

We did how ever eat them the only way we know how, soaked in milk. You two rock.
She also got a blow dryer so she can primp in her room now. lol

Oh and she got cards and Money in the mail that, she of course has spent already in her mind. But we are making her save it for the Big trip.( can't wait to see you Mom and Dad)

In all we have had a great day with our little bear. So a great big thank you to every one, she has a rocken day. Please be praying our little sun shine keeps shining for Jesus in the years to follow. What a Blessing she is.

Spring is in the air.

  Spring is here, along with the need to stock up on clariten and kleenex. We got out this week end and did some walking down town, as well as, found a place to have tea. Ellie found her Papa a mustach mug and I found some great shots ( pictures).  Winona just spent the last week with us on her spring break, and we had a great time hanging out with her.

Thomas tryed out the slave block down town, but we didn't get any takers. So he is going to have to find a normal job.

We are loving it here. But still miss our old friends in HB. and can't wait for visitors to come out our way.

God stil such a Big God and we love Him so much, Thankyou Lord for every thing you give to us each day.

getting ready with the Green

 It's time for St. Patties day, and a party to celebrate. We are in the groove of planning a Big get together with our new Friends here in Frederickburg. So we need new patio furniture, and to stock the bar. We can't wait to have a party with the weather worming up and the sun starting to shine our neighbors are coming out side more, and we see people walking their dogs. I can hear the sounds of children playing out side and birds singing night and day or it could be frogs we haven't decided what all the racket is out side in the back by the water. Just last night I stood out side and just looked up, at all the stars out side, man we couldn't do that in Cali. I do love to see the stars.

  If you hadn't seen the face book update Thomas made the soccer team and we are so proud of him now if he could find a job hi would be our poster child. But it may be asking to much of the guy we shall see.  Ellie has made so many new friends it is hard to keep up some of them are house people so that is just what we were hoping for, for her. Joey is always a blessing and shinning at every moment.

 I am thinking about getting a job but still undecided on that one. If the right one presents it self then I will go for it.

  We are almost one month out from our trip to Italy and I can't wait to get away. To breath in the European air and see spring in an other country. To share a great love with the kids and see grandparents too. It is going to be wonderful, we have a ballet, and a soccer game in the plans for our vacation. We have a wheel chair for Tom, and two boys who are willing to push him around.

  Man it feels like this year is just flying by but God has been blessing us like crazy so no complaints for us.

trying to catch up

  I am so sorry I haven't been writing, well in my blog any way. I have been doing lots of writing practice in the past few weeks. The weather here is getting warmer and with that we have been doing a lot more to get ready for or vacation in April. I can feel spring in the air. we have yet to get some patio furniture or a grill but they will get here when our tax refund does.

  I have made some decisions in the past few weeks as well one is to get a job in the very near furniture. And to push Thomas to also get one. Maybe I can make it a race and see who can get one first.

  Our home group is growing all the time and soon we may just bust out of the 600,000 sq.ft house we are in, wow that would big a big challenge. Just in the last week I was able to bless a family by arranging meals for a week after the mom had heart surgery. How great to take over two meals and see first hand how we were Blessing some one.
