Merry Christmas 2019





Dear Family and Friends,

At the beginning of another Christmas season, our thoughts are drawn to those that we love both near and far.  We think of you often and want only good things for you.  We are pleased to report that we are celebrating our fourth Christmas in Washington.  This is the longest we have lived anywhere, and we are grateful for our time in this beautiful area. 

Henry turned three in the summer.  He has become surprisingly chatty and outgoing while also remaining an observer.  He loves preschool, especially painting.

Joshua spent the summer coloring, cutting, gluing, and writing.  You can imagine everyone’s joy when he started kindergarten.  He loves school and has perfected a happy dance when conquering new words and sentences.

Michelle has enjoyed traveling with the family to Portland, OR, Maine, Vancouver, BC, and Leavenworth, WA.  Local adventures even included a visit to the top of the Space Needle.  She has begun her biggest writing project yet which is still a massive work in progress. 

Jerry continues to work at the Stretch Island Fruit plant, but is now employed by Ferrara Candy Company.  He is enjoying challenges and opportunities that have come with a new company.  The family enjoys the multitude of treats.

We love you all and wish you a wonderful 2020!

Love,
Michelle, Jerry, Joshua, and Henry
