Dear Friends and Family,
We hope this letter finds you well. We miss you all and hope
to see you soon.
Jason turned the
big three O. Although increasing in age he still feels young at heart. In fact recently Jason competed on the
staff flag football team while they challenged our school’s 6-man varsity
football team. Jason looks forward
to completing his master’s degree in educational administration this next year
and is having a good school year.
He and Tally had a successful garden this past year where they canned
and froze 100’s of pounds of tomatoes and salsa. Jason loves to learn, paint,
read, sing, and serve in his church calling, but his greatest joy comes from
being a husband and father.
Tally is 26. She
is beautiful and talented as ever.
Tally has embarked on a plethora of challenging projects this year, and
has come out triumphant. She
volunteered to head a drug prevention coalition in our community, is working on
a family history project, delivered our 3rd child, is crocheting her
first rug out of scraps of fabric, and teaching and raising our 3 wonderful
children. Tally has made many
friends in our community this year, and takes time with them by forming walking
groups.
Isa is 6 and just
started first grade. She took swimming lessons and started piano lessons this
summer. She practices almost every
day and is doing great. Isa learned to read this year and now reads anything
she can get her hands on. She recently lost her first tooth and is a big help
around the house.
Parley is almost
three. He likes cars and pointy swords.
He participated in swimming lessons this summer and loves to work with
Dad’s tools. He didn’t pass his speech screening so he goes back in December to
get rescreened, but he is talking now more than ever. He still loves to sing,
mostly “opera”, and is a joy to have around the house.
Talita is born. Proud Dad. |
We wish you all a merry Christmas and a wonderful and happy
new year.
Love,
