Merry Christmas 2009

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men"

Luke 2:14 KJV

We continue to be amazed at how the boys are emotionally maturing, their thirst of knowedge and the physical sprouting that seems to happen overnight.

Liam recently completed his third season of soccer with a local ministry called SOAR Sports. His personality exhibits itself on the field and his skills increase each season. Liam is extremely creative, enjoys peaceful moments and is very thoughtful.

Liam enjoys school and adores Mrs. Woodell who is his First Grade teacher. He is looking forward to his seventh birthday in March.

Aaron also loves attending school. Each weekday morning Aaron enthusiastically runs to his preschool class and loves to greet the Director at the door and Ms. Jane (his teacher). It is a joy to pick him up and hear all the wonderful things he did and learned that day.

Aaron's focus right now is music, legos, preschool, coloring and being anywhere Liam wants to be. He is also quite the conversationalist.

Caroline turned 40 at the end of August and entered this decade kicking and screaming as Glenn looked on with a smile. This year scrapbooking fell by the wayside as Caroline has taken a keen interest in utilizing coupons.

Timeless Glenn recently turned 42. He continues in his current position at the bank and really enjoys his work.

December 4 we celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary. God's faithfulness has been limitless as we have seen evidence of His hand on our family this past decade and the wonderful memories we have experienced thus far on this incredible journey.

It has been a hard year for many people we care about. We know many who are unemployed and others who experienced the loss of a spouse or parent. You are in our prayers as we prepare to celebrate Christmas and focus on the babe who came to give us life everlasting.

Love, peace and blessings,

Glenn, Caroline, Liam and Aaron

Merry Christmas 2008

Luke 2:11

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
As we reflect over 2008; our prayer is that this Christmas season brings you peace in your heart, joy in the true meaning of Christmas and special memories to hold dear.

Glenn received his MBA in May which then led to a move back to the East Coast in June. We lived in Arizona for 5 1/2 years and it was hard to say farewell to such dear friends that were such an integral part of our day to day life.

Our move went smoothly and Liam started Kindergarten in late August.

Liam is very creative and has a very sweet, caring spirit. He loves to make things, color and also played on his first soccer team this fall. It was great fun to see the 5-6 year olds practice and play their games.

Aaron started preschool in early September and attends a preschool class with other three year olds two morning per week.

Aaron is full of life and his contagious laugh always brings a smile. He enjoys playing with trains, cars, painting and spending time with his big brother.

Since our move we have had visits from Andrew, Beth and the children (Caroline's brother and family), Jeff, Barbara and the children (Glenn's brother and family), NaNa Grossman (Glenn's mom), Granny and PaPa Bell (Caroline's parents) and Glenn was also able to fly to California for his grandmother's surprise 99th birthday. We were also blessed to have Cousin Craig visit from New Zealand.

This December we celebrated nine years of marriage and Caroline's parents 50!

We are thankful for the path God has paved for us and His navigation of our day to day life as a family. We thank God for those who are dear to us that live in close proximity and those far away. Most importantly, we are thankful that Jesus came as a babe; born to change mankind forever.
