Welcome to our website!
Dear Friends and Family, This
year marks the 5th year since we moved from California to New York. It has been
a remarkable five years with so many things happening. The
girls are now 16 and 14 years old. Nicky
is a junior in Walter Panas High School, and Libby is a freshman at our new
local Putnam Valley High School. They
have gone from dolls and elementary school to cell phones and boys. With
this year we have had several events happen.
Some more pleasurable than others, but it has been a good year over all. As
some of you know, we put our fraudulent contractor behind bars and won our
lawsuit against the bank. This was
a giant victory for us that was a long time in coming.
The bankfraud website is down and the horrors are only memories now.
We
were able to go on our first family vacation in over 5 years.
We went to Williamsburg Virginia for a 5 night package.
This included unlimited access to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown Victory
Center, Jamestown Settlement, Busch Gardens, and Watertown USA.
It was so much fun. It was
fascinating to see how people lived in the revolutionary days long ago.
The amusement and water parks were fun too.
We would recommend the trip for anyone thinking about it, the history
lesson was well worth it. Nickolett
turned sweet 16 this year. In
October she decided to get a weekend job at our local crafts store as a cashier.
She is having fun earning her own money.
In her spare time she still enjoys singing and is active in her school
drama club, Panas Players. This
year she appeared in "The Wizard of Oz", "My Fair Lady", and
a couple of talent shows. She also
got to sing a solo in a duet number in the last play, "Walk Down Memory
Lane", and is preparing to sing "All That Jazz" in this week’s
talent show. To
those parents out there who think their babies are growing to fast, be assured
we are feeling that now. Nicky took
her written test and got her driver’s permit a couple of months ago.
It seems like only yesterday we were teaching her how to ride a bike
without training wheels, and now she can drive a car.
She is also preparing for her SAT's and thinking about college. And
now the dating scene...wow! She had
her first date a couple of weeks ago. Even with the stress of growing up too
fast, she is really turning out to be quite a very fine young lady.
We are very proud of her. Elizabeth
is not too far behind her sister, but still enjoys being her Mommy's little
girl. She graduated the 8th grade
this year and made it into the honors math and honors bio classes for 9th grade.
Sadly the school couldn't accommodate her for both classes, so she opted
for honors bio since science is her favorite subject. She
still wants to be a veterinarian. With
someone who loves all creatures big and small the way she does and always has,
it would be a crime for her not to be one. Libby
participated in several school activities this year. She attended every basketball and football game, cheering on
her classmates. She is very
talented and gives 110% of herself in art.
Her teacher entered some of her work in a couple of art shows and she
received numerous praises on her work. She
gets her artistic talents from her mother. Libby
is also active in her high school drama club.
Although she has no desire to sing, dance and act, she participates
behind the scenes. She helps back stage and ushers. She is also quite the young lady and we are very proud of
her. Both
girls are doing very well in school and still making Honor Roll.
Some classes are harder than others but they are giving it their all. The
girls had tickets to an O-Town concert on Libby's birthday, but it was cancelled
due to this year's tragedy. Their
concert was rescheduled the following month and they had a great time.
We stood in line for over 12 hours and they got front row seats.
They had the chance to meet the guys in the band before the concert and
when the video came out, they found themselves in the video in several shots.
It was very exciting for them. They
are still avid Hanson fans along with their mother, but O-Town was a big hit
with them this year too. Chris
stays active in swimming, biking, and jogging.
He was just in another swim meet this past weekend where he brought home
several more medals. He had
his first triathlon in NY this summer, and plans to compete in the US Masters
National meet in 2002. Some
of you may know of his accident with skiing the beginning of this year. His
hand was broken in three places, it did not heal properly so surgery was done to
pin his wrist. He still has some
movement problems, but swims better than ever. With
the bank problems over Chris has been working on the house all year.
We are converting the basement into a game and exercise room for the
family. We will put in a pool table when it is done and enjoy the rest of the
girl’s childhood with some family fun times.
On the outside of the house he is building a deck off the end of the
porch and getting the back yard in shape. We
have caught up with some old friends and made some new ones this year.
For all of you reading this, we are very grateful that you are in our
lives and hope to remain in yours forever. Have
a very Happy Holiday, and may all your wishes and dreams come true. Please
keep in touch,
