Christmas Time is Here!

Hello Loved Ones! December 2010

God has blessed us this year and we are thankful to be able to share some of our family “news” with you. Here are some of our highlights:

Mike : Entering his second year at Free Wheelchair Mission as Pastor of Church Development, he traveled to Sri Lanka in July and gave away 400 wheelchairs. He has been able to teach and speak more this year, and has also been able to act in a couple of short films. Time with family is priority #1 and so much fun right now with Kylie and Austin the ages they are!



Allison: Teaching full-time again this year, she loves teaching reading and math and singing with first-graders! It is even more fun watching Austin and Kylie grow into great people. She is blessed to be home with them in the afternoons to help with homework and take them to sports practices. She has loved reading some books in the Chronicles of Narnia and Laura Ingalls Wilder series with them. This year she has loved leading worship with kids at Mariners Church.



Austin: In third grade at Brywood Elementary, Austin loves his teacher, his classmates and just last week was elected “mayor” of his class! He enjoys reading, sports and being with friends. He continues to participate in soccer, basketball, swimming and scouting. He loves anything related to “Star Wars” and can’t get enough of the computer game “Rollercoaster Tycoon.”

Kylie: A second-grader at Brywood , Kylie really enjoys school and loves to help her teacher. She took an art class this year and continues to grow as an artist. She loves to run, swim, play soccer and spend time with friends in her Brownie troop. Kylie is an animal lover and hopes we’ll get a dog in 2011!


A highlight for us last summer was serving in Mexico as a family with our church. We also traveled to Sedona, the Bay Area and a “couple only” trip to New York City! We love to get away together, exploring new places and revisiting familiar locations. Grandma Meier retired this year and we look forward to more visits with her and Grandpa.

We are so thankful for our relationships with you! We hope you have joy and peace this holiday season and in the New Year.
