Greetings.
Well things are moving along here alright. Lately we've been helping our friend Karen move from one house to another. She was living at the base of one of the mountains up here called Big Rock in Mars Hill, about 1/2 hour south of us, but it was pretty isolated up there, no neighbors at all, and if any of you know Karen you know how much of a social person she is. So she started looking around and found a place to rent only about 3 miles away, big yard to mow, fire pit by the back deck. A nice place. Anyhow, we've been helping her paint and move in. We'll try to get everything done this weekend.
As a family we also have Big BIG news!!!! are you ready??? The Wii has arrived!!! (balloons and confetti, music and dancing) That's right, Mom and Dad finally followed up on one of their own campaign promises when it came to relocating, and the children (and the parents) now have the hottest video game system on the planet ...until the next one ... or this one may be out dated already....whatever its still fun. A couple of games and a Wii fit to boot, I have to say even Naomi, who is not a video game person, is enjoying playing.
But Wait thats not all. Naomi has gotten herself a job! (more confetti, more balloons, more music and more dancing, this time clothing optional) ;) She found work at a local call center called "Connect America" Its not an incredibly great job, and she's not completely satisfied wth going back to work on the phones...but she is happy to be getting out of the house, she has felt a little pent up as of late. and its easy work that she knows how to do well. She still has apps in at TAMC and is going to be putting some in at a local bank, where we hear an opening is iminent. but it is funny that it is easier to find work when your working but it is true.
and to facilitate that comes the third piece of big news, we're finally getting a second vehicle (we're outta balloons, confetti, and tired of dancing...cue the old man in the corner with a kuzu) Someone I work with is selling us a car for 750$, which is a pretty good deal here in Maine where you have to deal with yearly car inspections and what not. So we're happy, and things are looking pretty good.
Chloe just got back from a big class field trip to a couple of museums down state. One was a air and space type museum where the kids got to carry out the roles of astronauts during the apollo mission days, Chloe's job was on life support and she almost let the crew die!!! I guess you had to monitor your stuff and carry out experiments on a computer at the same time. SHe aparently is not a natural multi-tasker. But she had lots of fun. After the trip there was a school dance, we picked up her and her friend Chyane and they then had a sleep over here. (we're cooler now that we have the Wii) :)
Fayth and Fin both had "Crazy Hair" Day at their school this week, so I got some pics of them in the morning after Naomi had fixed their hair. You will also notice that Infinity has taken up boxing and has had both of her front teeth knocked out... well it would have made a good story. but it is fun to tease her about the way she tries to pronounce words sometimes. Hell she's just fun to pick on period!! The other pic is one I found on the camera as I was uploading onto the computer. Fayth aparently got into some experimental photography of her own... I don't know what she has stuck to her forehead, and I don't think I wanna know. but she's got that giggly look thats contagious, I had to add it here.
Well thats all I can think of this morning. Everyone have a good day
