Family News IT IS BIG NEWS TOO

Hello my Loved Ones

Where do I start? Well I guess I will start with the member of the family who has made a life changing move.... Isaac has asked Becky Lyons of the Miramichi to marry him. She has accepted and is now toting a beautiful diamond. They plan a long engagement, so we do not have a date. Becky is mighty thrilled, and we welcomed her into our family and our hearts this week. Remember God has a great plan, and everything that is on that film, will happen just as it should. Many blessing to our couple! CONGRATULATIONS ISAAC and BECKY

Daniel called us this week, both mom and dad spoke to him. He is having a wonderful and positive adventure. He seems to be living his passion, and dreams of going for his masters in education, and future world travels.

Speaking of getting calls, believe it or not.... Nonni Waye called her Papa last week. Here is how it all happened. (true story)
The phone rings and as I am to busy to answer it (unlucky me ), Papa goes to take care of the matter.
I hear Papa saying.... hello... Hello ... Who's there? .... I can hear Youuuu!!
I then heard Papa say some Goo goo and Gaagaa's
And for the next 2 or 3 minutes Papa makes sounds and calls out "Hello".
Then he hears Heidi's voice say..." Ohh what have you got Honey. Is that phone turned on?"
At which time Papa is hung up on!!! No worries, Papa calls Heidi right back and says... "Hey
you cut off our call, Nonni called Papa and we were talking."

We all had a great laugh over that one. Aunika's at nine months old made her first phone call. It was to Papa Standring. How neat is that!!

Daniel is going to title his pictures that he posted this past month, that way we can all know where they are taken at, and what he was doing. I told Daniel that if he did not have time for LONG DETAILED post that we would be happy with LITTLE clips of , "hellos" and Bye for now's" Just so nice to hear from him, for all of us. Pictures with caption and wee posting will do since he is so crazy busy, working and playing.

Corinna your pictures of your trip were wonderful. it inspired me to collage them. Thanks for your postings. How about some Halloween picture of Darth Vader... If you see one this Halloween?? OK?! Did Caleb get his Halloween package from Nana yet? If not it is at Auntie Heidi's... so give her a call.

Mark F...my darling son-in law, had a bit of an accident this week. While working in his shop he hit his hand with the mighty force of a hammer. It split the skin between his pointing finger and his thumb. He had to have five stitches. He is sore but OK. His older brother was with him when it happened, I told Scott, that he should have protected Mark. When he asked me how he could have done that, I told him he could have shoved his hand under the hammer and spared Mark the grief! hehehaha!

Aunika is progress at an amazing rate. This past week or two, she has walked holding on to things, she is making very specific sounds, especial "Mama", she is climbing, as you can see in the Pic's from her parents, and she can make long distance calls. WOW WOW WOW! I feeling the need to get out there.

Hadassah is into Elmo these days. She is talking and talking and says just about anything now. NICE UH. Scott-Issac may be visiting NB this summer. He might come with Isaac and Becky, He will be visiting his Grandfather Flewwelling, Grandmother Gaudet and we hope Nana and Papa Standring. Considering he will be ten, I think I only have a summer or two left of a little boy, sure would be nice to have him on the Miramichi.

I am now buying blind and curtains for my windows.

I just finished buying my Christmas gifts for Caleb this week. He really wanted a guitar, and Sears has a nice thirty inch folk size guitar, in blue with lighten bolts on it. I ordered him all the accessories for it.... bag...picks...strap...tuner..strings..ect. I have a surprise for him too. He will love it. I bought he and Skee a few extra thing here, but if I do not send them for xmas...I will bring them out to them for ..."Nana is here gifts" I bought Skee a scooter, he wanted a Razor one, but after researching scooters, the best one for boys who want to jump with them, is made by a skate board company called "Air-Walk". So I bought him that one. He also ordered a sled. I have a surprise for him too. I bought Dassi some animals, and a couple of Fisher Price Little People sets. The Garage Set and the Town Set. I bought Aunika A Fisher Price Ride on Corn Popper, and a Little Peoples play set. I hope all the little ones love the gifts.

My niece, Denise Decker (Aunt Patricia's Girl) had a little baby girl last week. Now has a boy Landon who is two, and a girl named Sophie. We wish her well!

Aunt Dee Dee's boy Daniel, played his first competitive basket ball game this week. His whole family went out to watch him. Dee Dee says that when he gets the ball and is heading for the basket, the kids in his way are just like paper dolls, he simply blows them away as he moves fast, dripping the ball ...look out to the enemy. One Ball , One basket, One Boy. One more score! way to go Daniel.... Your family thinks your the BEST!!! That included us here in NB too!

Auntie "L" thank for the post about your trip. I think I would like to go to the Tattoo in Halifax...Look into that for me would you. I am sure your Bus Tour does that? Say hi to dear old Stan for us all. "HI STAN"!

Joe is back on job, and as far as I know he is working close to home this week. He so loves that. Corinna and Joe had Mom/Nana and Dad/Papa look at a property down in Murray's Corner, it was and old homestead with the history of over 100 years. It has a beach front, nearly 3 ac er. What a beauty of a place. Man I wish they could by it right now. Or that we could... But it is to early for either of us to do so yet. Nice find guys ...Ya never know...RIGHT?

Roxann spent the last half of this week attending a special workshop for dealing with special need kids. She loved it and said she learned so much. I am so glad for her. She is such a smart lady, maybe she will pursue such career, if she has so much passion for that kind of work.

Sure am lonesome for you ALL. You all live to darn far away. Just as soon as Dad/Papa retires I am living closer to you .... Now I bet my bottom dollar by the time that comes to be, you will all decide to scatter about. Oh no, that is stinkin thinkin...ain't it Roxi. (SNL..Stuart) !

God Bless ya all my darlings. Dad/Papa is fighting a cold. We has service this evening and it was very uplifting. All is Well in Him, Jesus Christ.

As Ever, Your Mother/Grandmother/Sister/ Buddy
