Christmas Newsletter




We thought you might like to see excerpts from our annual Christmas Newsletter. We had just come back from a snow trip to Sequoia National Park which provided a nice winter theme for the photos.




Emily continues to be a source of entertainment for the entire family! It’s been a joy to watch Evan and Amy play a part in her development. The older kids excitedly screamed “she’s walking!” when Emily took her first steps this year. These shouts were quickly followed by cries of “she’s walking!” as Christina and Sean raced to move everything fragile out of her reach!






Amy is participating in the Central Coast Children’s “Debut Choir.” She remains involved in AWANAS and continues to memorize Bible versus at a rate that makes her Dad dizzy! As always, we are thrilled when our kids learn to read. Amy is gobbling up reading time and enjoys the “American Girl” series of books.








This year Evan earned his yellow belt in Karate and advanced to the rank of Webelos in Cub Scouts. In his spare time he can be found hunting tin cans and plastic bottles in the back yard with his trusty BB gun. For ten weeks this summer Evan participated in a clinical study at UCLA for kids with Tourette’s Syndrome. The study has helped us all understand a little more about TS and let Evan know just
how normal he actually is!
