Other News

We are putting our plan of getting Wilmer out of his 8-7 job into action. We have taken our first- well actually second step towards that goal. The first step was buying some rental property. We have 3 2-unit houses in the city of Rochester that we own. Then we created a company to do business under to protect ourselves from sue-happy people. The second step was to buy a house cheap and fix it up to resell- this is called a flip for anyone who doesn't know. We bought a house in Jersey Shore, PA under our company name. My dad and brother fixed it up for us during the month of January. Now we hope to get it on the market before the end of February to resell. It looks beautiful. We hope to continute this practice between Rochester and Jersey Shore and eventually have that become Wilmer's fulltime job instead of Paychex which takes away from spending time with his family. Also this year we are beginning to look for a new house for ourselves. Our house is busting at the seams with our growing family and we need someplace bigger. Here's the situation: We have a very small 2 bedroom Cape Cod house for 4 people, 2 cats, and LOTS of toys. Then my family comes up to visit and we crawl around on top of each other for a couple of days until they get tired of it and go home. So we really need more room! Please pray with us as we look at places, that we will choose the right place and the right price at the right time. We will keep you posted!

We are all doing well- just the minor colds that are common this time of year. Aaron is adjusting very well to his new little brother. He likes to play with him and show off. He has his moments where he doesn't want him around or wants us to put Tyler down and play only with him. But for the most part he has accepted Tyler as part of his life now. He even takes his blue dirt bike (his most prized possession) and shares it with Tyler. He will take whatever toys he wants Tyler to play with and put them on Tyler's belly. He loves to get in his face and make him smile. Tyler is a very happy baby. He is all smiles now for the most part. We had our first vaccines last Friday and poor guy was out of it for the rest of the day but he bounced back quickly. God has truly blessed us with our 2 beautiful boys. I thank Him every day for my wonderful family.
