Happy New Year From Our Family To Yours!

Our House in 1915

Now here is a something you just won’t believe.
An envelope came in the mail today and it contained two pictures of our house and a very nice Christmas card from someone we have never met.
A lady who lives in Lakewood was looking thru her grandmother’s photo albums and came across pictures of our house. She believes the photos were taken in 1915 when the house was owned by her great grandparents. Her grandmother was the one who took the photo along with another one of her children sitting on our porch. Carol, the woman who sent us this information gave us a brief history of her grandparents and who they were and also left her email address and told us she would be happy to talk with us about any history of the house that she know of. I can’t wait to call her after the holidays to see if she has some more photos. We have been trying to get some old photos of our house for some time thru the historical association in Tacoma but with little luck. Just in case you didn’t know our house was built in 1902 and from what we have gathered has had very few families who have owned it.

Lila & Kyle playing in the snow!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Wow, what a birthday present I got. It started snowing on December 18th around noon and just kept snowing and snowing and snowing. It was coming down so hard our office closed at 4:30pm, our Anchorage office had a good laugh over that. It took me one and half hours to get home; it usually takes about fifteen minutes. When I finally did get home we went out to dinner with Scott and his mom. It continued snowing throughout the week-end.The kids had a so much fun sledding and playing in the snow and Baily was so funny, the snow was deeper that she was tall so it was quite a site

Kyle's Thanksgiving Play

Kyle was in his class play for the Thanksgiving holiday. He was an Indian chief and had a very important line "I am the Chief of my Tribe" he did a great job. Big sis Nickie was there to cheer him on along with Mom & Dad. We were so proud of him. After the play we had a feast at school with all his class mates.

A big day is fast approaching

Just a reminder: We have a Birthday to celebrate on Friday December 5th! Kyle is turning 6 years old! can you believe it? He wanted to thank Grandpa John and Nana Lydia for the book, we have been reading a story every night since it arrived. We will be having a birthday party on Saturday December 20th, more info to follow on that.
