New Edition to our Family

We have a new edition to our family. She will join us on Thursday. We haven't named her yet...but are taking suggestions. (Do to the rain we have had and the terrible downpour that happened when we went to test drive it...I suggest...Noah) Unfortunately, we will also be holding last rites for El Kia piece of Krappa. The green Kia which survived much longer than anyone expected, 5.5 yrs, will finally be sent to that big auction block in the sky (well really...we don't know where it is going). We would say Kia piece of Krappa led a good life.... considering she was born in the south...saw some beautiful snow storms...and toured many a state; however, she was so sickly we are certain she didn't like the work out. So with a very fond goodbye...we bid her good riddance. Memorial checks can be mailed to us (as we need them to pay for her COSTLY funeral). Also...there IS major flooding (like it will probably make your evening news) in this area, but so far we are unharmed...a damp, but not leaking basement and a very soggy yard. The garden is another story...I cant say for sure that it will make it (not kidding). Several cities are flooding so we would ask that you would keep your prayers open to the locals in this area. This happened just 2 short years ago and here we go again.

And now...PRAY to stop the rain in SC...we are 1.5 wks away from vacation and worried the weather may SUCK. Our vacation last year was plagued with cold (highs in the 60s) and rain (not like the Noah rain we have now,but still enough not to do stuff outside). And no whammy no whammy no whammies (um...otherwise known as the "H" word...hurricane)

Well off for now :-) PEOPLE STAY IN CONTACT WITH US!

1, 2, 3

Emily can COUNT! Yes, she can! She can count to 4. Her new words are now sentences.... my favorite is... Bye bye..see you morrow. (Which I think she means, see you later). And Be quiet, sleeping. (when she sees someone with their eyes closed). Recently I have checked out myspace.com and have found one old school friend... one old church friend... one old boyfriend (and sooo happy he's "old" if you catch the drift)... and one old missionary. Its so neat to find my old friends. My school friend lives in NC (isnt that ironic because I moved from NC). She has a baby now too. My church friend doesnt go to church anymore (I doubt it...she looks like life has been rough...but she has 2 kids) and my old missionary friend seems as crazy as ever! In other news.... The garden is in....with about 18 tomatoe plants (3 kinds), 18 onions, 6 romaine lettuce, 5 leaf lettuce, 20 or so carrots, 5 green pepper plants, about 12 green beans and about 6-8 peas, 2 squash, 2 watermelon, and 4 cucumbers. So far so good, though we did loose some plants to a hail storm we had about 3 wks ago. We go to the beach (YEAH) in 2 1/2 weeks. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited. Please pray for no hurricanes. We could REALLY use the vacation. Im so excited to be going back to SC. Canio has been very busy with work...and so have I. I have the need to "spring" clean the basement. This should be fun. And finally, I am trying to loose weight... I have 25 I want to loose... Ive lost 3. Keep in touch!

Picture updates

Emily on Memorial Day (red outfit) We hosed her down. Not long after this, we striped her down to her diaper. She got a big kick out of it! It was very hot that day. Memorial Day-- Poppy and Emily worked on watering the tree we planted last year. The tree has also been named Emily. (Trees are named in the Costanzo Family). MMMMMM yummy... spaghetti~! She's wearing more than she is eating! Isnt she just so darn cute? Another very hot day...and Emily is trying to fit into Mommy's shoes!
