Dear Family and Friends, Here is our Christmas Letter. To start off at the beginning of this year we purchased a home , 2 bed 1 bath, I can't remember the square footage at this time. Cory started school in September at Willamette University. He is getting a Master's in teaching, not sure which way in teaching quite yet. He is still working from home. Alyssa turned 3 in April. She know's some of her letter's and is learning how to write. She is working on counting some and learning her number's. Next year she will be a sunbeam. Owen turned 1 in July. He learned to walk at 13 months, or around there, Alyssa helped him. He says mom, dad, bye bye, and he knows how to blow kisses. He likes playing with his sister, and sometimes not. I am a stay at home mom. I have been pretty busy with the kids. I have been trying to read lot's of books. That is all I can really think of now that we have been up to this year.
