The Family

Here is an updated picture that Debra took when they came over to see the progress on the house and to meet Sydney! By the way the house is going great and Sydney is such a blessing and a great dog! We love having her!!! We are having a great time with Debra and Norm and especially our nephew Canaan! He is the happiest guy i have ever meet. No wonder they have some many great pictures of him! I love they way he laughs! We hope that all of you have an amazing Christmas!

Christmas 2006 starts early!!

Christmas started early this year! Norm and Debra came last night with Canaan!! It is always the best part of the year to hang out with them! So this year Gregg and I went in with the family to get them a new computer. The computer that they have had has been giving them some real problems. So we decided to get them a computer that we knew would last them a long time and not give them the constant problems. Gregg has had an Apple computer for a year now and loves it. Last night Debra saw the Apple sicker on our car and said "Cool sticker" I followed up with, "Yeah Gregg loves his and it has never given him any problems". Deb said " We will never be able to have one... but ours is OK... it just has problems a lot...". I just about died!! Little did she know we were about to give them one the next day!!! We sent them on a phony scavenger hunt for a small gift. When they came back into the house we were all standing by the computer that we had put out for them and stated "Merry Christmas!!" They were so excited. That was the best gift ever... to be able to give them this gift. We love you guys!

Catching up! A bit late!

This year Gregg and I were able to celebrate our birthdays together and with a special guest birthday girl, Auntie Leah! Gregg turned 27 on the 7th, I turned 25 on the 17th, and Auntie Leah turned (shhh…. do not let her know I told you) the big 50! This was the first big party that we have had at our house. Mom performed her magic and transformed the backyard in to a thing of beauty! We could have had a wedding on the patio, it was so amazing! Thanks Mom! It was fun to have a lot of our friends young and old(er then us) there to celebrate! Mom was such a good sister to Leah… NOT! She had everyone give the worst “old” card they could find to Auntie Leah as a contest to see who could find the worst card!Gregg and I did not win but here are the lines from the 2 cards we gave her.

Don’t sweat tuning 50!
Nobody likes to see a sweaty senior citizen!

50 is the next 40!
Yah and I and the new Queen of England!!

It is a good thing that Auntie Leah is a good sport and looks so young for her old age or we could not joke about it. We love you!

Christmas Party

This year we have 3 Christmas Parties to attend! Friday was the first party. This is the High school / Jr. High fundraiser banquet. Gregg was not going to be able to go because it was on a night that he works, but the Lord intervened! Gregg was assigned an area to cover that was by the church. The office that covers that area was having their Christmas party and so Gregg was sent to be in the area in case an accident came up. So while he waited for anything to happen he was able to eat dinner and watch the program at the banquet! We had a great time having him there with us, and in Uniform!! What a hunk!
Saturday was the Showcase party. The party was at a small restaurant, a nice setting to socialize with co-workers. Gregg was able to go because a co-worker of his switched morning and evening shifts. We had a good time and after the party Gregg took me out to the movies for a late date! We saw "For Your Consideration" It was good!
And this weekend we have Gregg's party! This year it is rumored that they are going to have a casino night! They did it last year and it was a lot of fun. I always like seeing Gregg's co-workers and their wives!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
The Bowcocks!
