We find ourselves looking at a new year with new hopes. We hope/pray that Carolyn can walk easily and pain free. We hope/pray that A can get by without medication and control herself enough to stay in the gifted program. We hope/pray that GMan stops telling his teacher how she is wrong every time she turns around even if he knows he is right with the information he is giving her. The twins we just hope/pray continue to grow like they have been. We hope/pray that Chris gets the basement done as it will make finding childcare significantly easier with an extra bedroom as it looks like we need an au pair.
We also have a van that decidedly does not like to take the Southern State Tour. Last Christmas we drove to Florida (well Carolyn did with Alexis and twins) and half way down the transmission started acting up. We got back to STL by the grace of God. It ended up being a blessing as the warranty we bought for the van paid for it since it hadn't even met mileage for needing service to the transmission and the warranty company couldn't argue with us on that. This year during some massive rain in Dallas it started making a weird grinding noise when turning left. Then as we drove home we noticed that the front drivers panel was dented pretty good. We believe that it got hit sometime overnight while it was parked on the street the last night we were in Dallas. We've got a cool red scar on it now and Chris managed to get the dents out enough that it runs and won't destroy the driver side door or the tire. :)
That basically sums up our new resolutions/prayers for 2020. Well I need to go to bed to go back to work tomorrow for the first half day of 2020.
