Christmas 2009

Wow! Another Christmas here and gone. It went by so fast. Finley turned 2 and Ezra was born in October. What a little bundle of joy he is and his big sis is loving him all up! She is a born
mother. Helps with everything and it is adorable. Jenn and Aaron are doing great. They are
amazing parents.
Jaime is in her 4th year of teaching 1st grade at MME in Sammamish. She loves her job and is a little mother to all of her 18 students. I get the privileged of helping in the classroom when
I like and I love watching her teach. They are a family unit and all love each other and look
out for each other. When I go out to recess with them; all of her past students gather around
as if they were still part of her and give me big hugs.
As I think I missed my calling as a teacher, I feel fulfilled when I visit her classroom.
Jack and I are busy around the house finishing up little projects such as the extra room over
the garage. Should be done with that one by summers end.
In the the Spring Carla (Best friend) and Mark are getting married in our back yard, so I would like to get the Grape trellis finished so it is perfect for them. I am so happy for them both.
We are planning a 2nd honeymoon for July. Something tropical just the 2 of us. We never take the
time to leave our little homestead but we need to.
We wish a Happy New Year to all of our friends and family. We pray for many blessings and a peace that surpasses all understanding in Christ Jesus.
