Been a while....

Wow!! I did not realiza it had been so long since I had been on here. I think as I get older time seems to go by a lot faster. So here is an update...

Nicole - 17 and a Junior now - just finished up junior directing Larry's first play. She is gearing up for her next play here in a couple of weeks. She is having fun just hanging around working at McD's still. She volunteers a lot at school to help with different events. She is a part of the National Honor Society, VP of FCCLA, Latin Club, Spanish Club, English Academic Team, and the Social Studies bowl. She is also VP for FCCLA, which is the group from last year that she went to Nationals with her business plan with two of her friends and won Gold. They have decided to do it again, after swearing they would never do it again! They decided that they already knew what they were getting into so they should just do it again. She still sings with the worship team at church and helps out with children's church although I think that will be drawing to an end. We are trying to get her focused on College and start thinking about her future. She still has no idea of what she wants to door where she wants to go. She is thinking maybe a teacher... although the lack of financial stability is a drawback. We will see.

Larry 14 and in 8th grade now- just finished his first Drama play. He was not going to have anything to do with it until one of his friends decided to do it so he thought he would just help out behind the scenes...The teacher that was putting the whole thing on convinced him to take a part...The last day of try outs he decided to try it. He ended up doing very well, and found out he actually likes it, and is pretty good at it. Nicole did a great job of directing as well. This was her forst official role. She enjoyed it. Larry is thinking he may do swimming again this year and then track. He is involved at school with FCA and just joined the science academic team. He is also the #1 nursery worker. The kid love him and always ask for him when he is not there. He loves playing with them and watching them as well. It is amazing how careing he is with them. He has grown up so much!

Paul is working at McD's still. He really loves it. We have started our own business up back in December. We do screenprinting and embroidery. I left my old job back in Oct. Long story lots of issues!! moved on! We went and took classes to learn how to screenprint. It has been great to work from home again however there is a lot to it!! We still have a ways to go before things are completely set up the way we would like it to be but we are up and running. We both as involved at the church. We love this little church, although it is not so little anymore. Ever since we moved into our new building we are busting at the seams. That is a good thing but is also requiring more time adn planning. No more winging it! But God is always so faithful!

So that is kindof a quick update on what has been happening. I will try to update more frequently. I am not sure if anyone even reads this any more however I have missed this. In a weird way it is very thereputic to be able to write (or in this case) type things out. I hope all of you are doing well and that God is blessing each and everyone of you and your families!!

Take care & God Bless!!
