Happy Holidays 2008
Warm wishes to everyone! Here’s our yearly update.
We’re grateful that our
family has had a good year. We’ve had some great times with our friends on
camping trips in
Jasmine started first grade
with a tremendously supportive teacher to help her transition to a full-day
school schedule. Jasmine is interested
in taking photographs and continues to flourish artistically.
For Halloween she designed
her own Leprechaun costume… inspired by a Leprechaun who left surprises in our
garden last spring. Jasmine has built
beautiful fairy houses in the garden for our visiting Garden Fairies. She also
added 3 fish to our family, “Lola” and “The Twins”.
Violet (Teeny) turned two this
Thanksgiving. Teeny started preschool at a local parent-run co-op. She spends most of her time following “Yamin” around and reading
books. One of her favorite past-times is
eating. “Me YES want pancakes!” When she’s having a temper tantrum, she
summons the evil powers that only a two-year old can and starts yelling: “Me throwing you AWAY, Me TOSSING you out, Me
KNOCKING you over, Me SPILLING you out!”
Pat’s job at Liquid has
continued to go well. His company recently launched a new music download site
to compete with iTunes (mp3.walmart.com).
Our whole family appreciates that his job continues to be relatively
stable.
Chris volunteers at both
kids’ schools during the week. She
enjoys planning trips for our family and friends, including trips back East
twice a year so that the kids can spend time with Grammie & Grampa.
We hope that the coming year
will be great for you as well. Love,
Pat, Chris, Jasmine, & Violet
