Richard’s traditional crazy
Christmas Letter is taking a year off, and he reports it will probably return
next year.
In its place, here is
an update on our family.
Rachel and Shiloh’s
family lives in Bozeman, Montana now. Rachel is involved with Public
Relation events for her church, is the choir director and is teaching lessons
for her church’s women’s group. She is an amazing mother and is always
doing creative things with her children. Shiloh is still working for the
Government. He has created a great gym in their garage and enjoys
including Harper and Sam in his workouts. Harper is 6, enjoying kindergarten, loves playing with her brother Sam and taking Ballet
lessons. Sam is 3 and loves riding his bike, playing with Legos and
puzzles. Magnus (Gus) joined Rachel’s family on April Fool’s day.
At 8 months old now he is, no joking, the happiest baby I have ever seen.
He laughs and giggles at most anything.
Arrin and Marcus’
family lives in Walnut Creek, California. Arrin is still working for
the Gap Corporation doing analysis work. Marcus continues to work and
travel often for Deloitte. Their son, Jonah, is 20 months old. He
loves to do everything. He runs and plays pretend football. He also
loves trains.
Ben is an undergraduate in the business
school at BYU, studying Marketing and Statistics. He still enjoys
photography and has enjoyed spending time with friends in taking their wedding
photos and business photos. He spent most of his summer in Peru with Help
International, providing service and photographing the beauty of that country.
Rochelle continues to
work as a Substitute Teacher in Fairfax County and at Appletree Nursery
School. She has especially enjoyed her assignment with planning
activities with the teenage girls at her church. She planned a trip for
the girls (over 25 of them) to Solomon’s Island for sailing, crabbing, and
hiking. They have helped to keep happiness around her.
Richard works hard and
has fun doing so. Fortunately his brain
seems to be functioning just fine. He
has good friends and loves his family.
