Family Newsletter 2007

Hello Everyone--


May your New Year find blessings from above and new memories to bring glory to the Father. The story on the side seems kind of doleful, but not so, because many miracles have surrounded each happening. God has been so good in providing, looking after us in every imaginable aspect. Jobs and people and EI and lots of other things to keep us busy, have been there help us along. Songs in the day and peace in the night have been mine. Yes! I may complain! and gripe a lot and come to you, but you have always been there with encouragement. Thank you so much.


My first daughter Jaimie will be moving to Saskatoon to be with their grandmother, it will provide a much needed break for her and company for the grandmother. Josie is quite a grown up lady. She loves to swim and just being a five year old. Thankfully, Jaimie's dad will be around to be with her too.




Curt, is an old married man " he loves that ideal", since December 8 2007. The most beautiful wedding in the province. He bought a new Chev car, a condo, and works at Target.




































Clint has returned from Bolivia for a little while while he works at carpentry, and Mindy at her old job, then they plan to go back for a while again. the new school year will start in February. He is driving his white Toyota that Curt picked out for him years ago. With a few repairs it is still running. Here is Clint and I after a day of shopping!!!! and giving Eugene his ultimate -a box of chocolates. Mindy loves photography so she took lots of pictures at the wedding which I have to see yet.

























Clarisa and Richard and Taegan have added another baby to the family-boy-Rhys Eric Alexander-November 21, 2007. Taegan loves him to bits and so does his grandmother-me!!!! Richards folks came to visit and we had a good Christmas together. Taegan loves to dress up and look after her brother.






















I am still in Hazelton working as a dental assist for one more month and then my job ends until a new one comes along......... I have been to Calgary a few times to be with Dad and for Curt's wedding. Did lots of gardening this summer and started a new way to eat--raw food and green smoothies. I lost 60 pounds. Am renovating my kitchen and over Christmas lost the cold water to the trailer- we- three of us neighbours had to get a new submersible pump and accessories, then my hot water tank decided to quit and we have been up to today to get it working again. Thank you to two neighbors called Donnie who did the work. It was so nice to have hot water again I had two hot baths today...today i hve a cold, the first this year and am drinking ginger tea, and Neo Citron and cold towels around my neck. I keep busy with women's ministry and ready for the new year again.

Here is my new kitchen, a lot of work needs to be done yet so hopefuly by the end of January it will be done.

















I want to put tile on the back splash- any ideas out there?????


now if you were to change the layout what would you do?






Well , people, time to go and Best Wishes for the new year, keep the faith, and encouragement to all.
