Dear Family and Friends,
11:30 and I'm just in from attending Timothy's first birthday party. Jason and Jo went all out to create a wonderful event this afternoon. There were many little ones in attendance and they enjoyed riding in the wagon, riding his little electric car, swinging in his swing, playing in his special little pool, dodging bubbles from the bubble machine and playing the sprinklers. There was food for everyone and lots of wonderful new toys, books and a beautiful plant.
Nikki drove her Pilot and we stopped briefly to pick up a check in San Jose, then drove to Capitola for beach time and a snack. At party time we drove over to MBA and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at their home. Wanting to avoid traffic we left late and then needed to refuel Keanna again as we passed through Santa Cruz. Kallie was a very good girl and slept most of the time only waking to need food or to play. Keanna watched a DVD which helped to make the long trip pass by more quickly.
I'll try to find a couple photos that I took with my phone and attach them if I can figure it out.
Just now when I got home I found a new order in the fax machine and two orders were called in during the day so it looks like we are back in business for the first of the week.
We got great news today that Steve has been approved to do FHA appraisals. This should yield some more work for him to do along with his thriving landscaping business.
This was a big emotion booster today. How can one be down or discouraged when he is surrounded by a loving family, these three precious little tykes and so many good friends!
Jason's weight loss is starting to show in his face, very impressive. Nikki now weighs considerably less than before she became pregnant with Kallie, nice going kids. Now to get pappa's weight down.
I'm hoping each of you have a blessed weekend with your families and loved ones.
love
tim

It hardly seems possible that little Timothy could be a year old already. Is is quite the little man and a real Mustard!
Good news that you have "checks in the mail" and work orders in the FAX. See ~ God does take care of your needs. TRUST!!!
Roger is off with his chorale today. I'm heading to church soon. It is a quiet week end with few guests. The "kids" parents and relatives come tomorrow and move them to TN on Monday. Then they get to take their week long vacation at the beach before starting school on the 28th. We didn't want to give them a week off for vacation time during our busy season. Not a problem ~ just leave a week early and get it anyway. Chris, our new assistant manager will be here on Tuesday! Oh happy day! We have an adult to work with.
Keep up the good work Tim. You will make it!!!
We love you ~ Carol
Good Morning Tim & family,
Glad to read that the B.Day Party was a success. What fun for You all as a Family to enjoy.
How good it is to read that Peden's are well on the way to a more stable "Help" situation. We continue to ask the Lord for direction and resolve in the many conditions that all of Us are faced with every day. How good it is to know that He is always there for each of Us.
We are going to the Stockton Civic Theatre this evening to see "The Full Monty" supposed to be a good laugh. Friends from the Band have tickets so We will give it a try. We have been there many times and are rarely dissapointed.
We will miss You at lunch today in Woodbridge unless You think that You could make it? You are most welcome to join Us at 1:00, just give Us a call and We will save You a seat and some Salad.
Love You,
Bob & Carrol.
