Happy Holidays!

Mr. has done well for himself this year. He got to travel out of the country for the first time and went to Japan, and then Nigeria. One of the perks of hard work is company parties. Of course we know how much he love sports and Texas Tech Red Raiders was the team to follow!

Mrs. started a home business working for SimplyFun. Playing games and making memories with family and friends is what she enjoys. Her father was diagnosed with cancer in August, and she struggled emotionally the first few months. She recently started a women's group and through it all recognized that she isn't alone. She values her individual worth and relies on her faith in God to get through all life's challenges and she is thankful for her many blessings.

Mariana loves being in Jr. high. She plays the Euphonium in band and made first chair! She will soon be a young woman!

David is a Bear in Boy Scouts and recieved a red bead of progress in Duty to Country! He is doing extremely well in learning to play the piano.

Joshua loves kinder. but we have to drag him out of bed every morning! He was recently the fastest boy in his class for running. Although he talks a lot, he is doing Exellent.

Ethan had his first encounter with snow (a once in a blue moon miracle in our city) and he was scared! For entertainment, he uses his imagination! He likes to sing "We are a happy family!"

Where have the days gone?

I know I typed up an update in October? Well a big chunk is missing. So much has happened! I guess that teaches me not to rely on the computer so much! I could go backwards and tell you everything, but I'll just say that life has been good. Some challenges of course, life isn't a bed of roses, but we learn and grow through those experiences!
