After years of moving from one rented home to another, the Thibault family of Sanford now has a home to call their own, thanks to the federal Rural Development direct loan program, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Here celebrating in front of their home on Vaness Street Friday are, from the left,  York County Community Action Director Barbara Crider;  Rural Development State Director Victoria Manuel; and the Thibault clan, including young Aslan in the red T-shirt; his sister, Aliza; mother Melly Thibault holding Caedmon; Dagnae, standing almost behind his mother;  Dallas, Trace, who is hiding behind the others; Judah in his father Joshua’s arms, and Joziah.
