Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

WOW another year has gone by. So much has happened I don't know where to start.

The kids are all doing well and are healthy. Noelle is doing well. Grade 9 and doing very well with grades and staying out of trouble. Dawson is finding grade 8 to be a great experience. Joined the wrestling team and ended up with a broken colarbone his last match.. he got 5th place in that tournament. Jordan is in his last year of elementary Grade 7. He has joined Karate and really enjoys it.

Scott is still working hard with the same company. He has done well this year as they have been super busy..too busy for even rain to stop them. he finally has all the parts he needs for our '66 chevy, maybe he will actually start working on it now that he has the shop covered and heated.. lol.

I started a new job in September...It was a great move! a company called IRI Separation Technologies Inc. I just do accounts payable and work 8 hours a day only.. so its awesome! Someone recently rearended my Jeep. I was not impressed. the damage didnt seem so bad.. needed a new tailgate and bumper. Then the body shop took it apart and found even more damage. Not sure how much more would have happened if my spare tire(which lays under the floor) hadnt stopped the impact. My back is very sore... after two weeks, so its not just a case of whiplash. I dont have time for this nonsense but im told to do something about it so i guess i will. Better luck next year, eh?

We welcomed two new family members into our home. Angus & Xara. Angus is a Bullmastiff and Xara is a PresaCanario (same as bullmastiff only spanish). they are cute but a handlful at times. When one does something the other has to follow. Angus is usually good and will tell on Xara if she does something bad. they will grow to be great dogs!

I hope this finds all my friends and family in good health and sending my best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season!

Love,

Shan
