Happy 2012!

I hope you had a wonderful holidays. Ours were very quiet, but also peaceful and blessed.

We revived the tradition of our Christmas Eve open house, although this year we held it on the eve of Christmas Eve.  It was well attended, and we had lots of fun, too!

Clint didn't have any time off for the holidays, so we were grateful that they fell on weekends. He really loves his job.  Ministering to families whose loved ones have or are in the process of passing is certainly challenging, but it is also so worthwhile.  Clint led his first memorial service the week after New Years, and he also is doing Evening Prayer at one of the facilities.

Haley did so well this last semester!  She earned all A's, landing on the President's list, and has been invited to join the honors society.  She only has two classes this semester, and she is looking for another job to fill her time.

Catie is a busy girl.  She aced the PSATs this fall, and she is very proactive about her schoolwork. Cate also works a few times a week as a babysitter, and she is my right hand around the house, particularly when it comes to caring for Colin, the little guy who stays with us three days a week. She's still writing, drawing and keeping up an active social life!

David is also enjoying his schoolwork and time with all of his friends. He loves to spend time with Dev and Greg at their apartment!

Speaking of Devyn and Greg. . .they are doing really well.  Dev still loves her job at Narcoossee Middle School, and she works each Saturday up here in Apopka as a respite caregiver. Greg's real estate career is blossoming, too! They enjoy their apartment--it was fun seeing how well the decorated it during Christmas--and their friends and family.

I'm going to add pictures on a separate entry with an overview of the holiday season.  Thanks for keeping in touch!
