December 22nd Wow! It's almost
Christmas! Michael has finished a wonderful season of football. He's
improved so much as a Center and has been working on Middle
Linebacker position. His grades in school aren't doing too bad
either - A's & B's mostly. Michael was also in our Christmas Cantata
at church. This was a first for him and he did a pretty good job.
Bekah has healed up nicely from her
accident and we bought her a new car, thanks to Joel. She is now
driving a 2001 Acura CL. She's also pretty involved in getting into
a college. She's applied at SPU in Seattle and Corban College in
Oregon. We're just waiting for acceptance. Bekah has also been in
Choral Choir at school and performed in several concerts. Her choir
class has really improved her singing voice and she has even sang a
solo at church. She continues to be a magnet to small children and
currently watches our godson, Logan (he just turned 1) about 2-3
times a week.
Joe is back from Texas and currently
looking for a job. He's had a tremendous time of growth in the Lord
and leadership. We're not sure what the Lord has in store for him,
but he's ready and willing.
Kevin is still working at Safeway, but has
transferred to the Bread Plant as their night Foreman. This job has
been quite a challenge for Kevin as he's had to integrate with a new
team and new procedures, but he is adapting quite well and is now up
for a Supervisor role. Please keep him in your prayers as the Lord
directs his path in this new year.
I am still working at Providence. Our
office moved to Renton this past year and I've been adjusting to the
commute. I really enjoy my job and just feel so blessed at being in
a position to share my faith openly. I'm fairly involved with
several community outreach programs at work and always feel so
invigorated at being able to give back.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

As most of you know, Rebekah was in an accident in
August. She rolled her car three times and by the grace of God, her
and her friend walked away with a few minor bruises. She is doing
much better and even looking forward to getting a new car now.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers.
Rebekah and Michael have started school now -- wow,
how the summer flies. Rebekah is a senior this year and Michael is
in 6th grade, just started Middle School. Joe is still in Texas and
doing well -- Thanks again to all who have been supporting him. He
really is growing in the Lord and maturing as a young man. |

the current stuff. Enjoy! |

Wow, time goes by quickly. Well, Kevin started a new
job with Safeway. He is now the Foreman at the Bread Plant in
Bellevue. He still works graveyard, but he's now moving his way up
the leadership ladder. Rebekah is doing well. She is starting to
visit colleges. Michael just got back from 5th grade camp. I'm still
working at Providence and loving it. Everyone is healthy. Praise the
Lord! |

- Valentine's Day
Today we
celebrated Macy's first birthday. She's such a beautiful little
girl. We had a great time driving to Yakima and seeing all the snow.
It was wonderful to see Chelsea and Josh. Last week we celebrated
Granny's 90th Birthday. Wow, that was super neat. There were so many
stories. Joe also had a birthday; he's 19 now. We didn't get to see
him, as he is still in Texas going to school, but we did talk to him
and sent him a birthday package. |

Well, another year has come and gone.
It's been full of life -- exciting, frustrating, fun -- and always
filled with family. I'm thankful for all the family we have
surrounding us. Not too much going on for Christmas. We have more
snow than we've seen in years. It's gorgeous. Thank the Lord, I have
a job where I can work from home. I do believe we'll have a white
Christmas. Michael's currently in wrestling. Doing pretty well.
Might even make JV before the season is out. Bekah's taking it
pretty quiet. She has a full load at school and has been an enormous
help with all my little volunteer projects. Joe came home from Texas
for two weeks. What a change. Matt's been over a lot lately too.
It's really nice to hear all the discussions between them instead of
fighting. Praise be to Him.

Michael's Flag Football banquet was
tonight. The boys are growing up so fast. Bekah cut her finger today
-- needed stitches, but no, she has to be tough.
