Christmas Greetings!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family! The snow has been falling here for several weeks now. The kids have already been out sledding once at the boys' school. They have a great hill. The kids are eagerly awaiting getting presents under the tree, which we got the first weekend in December (a record for us). We have been torturing them by delaying getting things wrapped. Ginger is finally done teaching her day classes and is just feeling relief from the busy schedule. Mike was also teaching a class and had to pull an all-nighter (rare these days) to get the grading done. Emily won a blue ribbon with the highest possible score of I for a duet that she played with a friend. They are being asked to play for the eighth grade concert next week. Avritt is on the swim team this year. His first meet is this Saturday. Isaac is having a lot of fun these days with a friend, Spencer. He is doing extremely well with letters and sounds. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

All Dressed Up Posted by Picasa

All Dressed Up...

We all headed to a wedding of some friends in our house church early in November. The boys had to get all dressed up (something they don't prefer) and I took the opportunity to take some pictures. I put Isaac on the top step to balance out the height difference, but Avritt still wanted to be taller. We all enjoyed the wedding.
