Christmas Letter 2011

Dear Family and Friends,
Where does the time go, I can't believe Christmas is only 3 days away. We have had many blessings and many challenges through out the year.
We started the year by having our basement flood 3 different times, which started our basement remodel a little early. We were so blessed for family and friends who helped clean, store our belongings and helped with the demo. We have doubled the living space and have an almost finished basement. The basement was completely redone except for the bathroom. Maybe next year we will get some furniture for the family room and the office. The girls love their new playroom.
In August Julie was able to travel to Canada for her Granny's Funeral. It was a sad moment but a blessing to see family and remember wonderful memories from her life.
Emilee and Carly continue to grow too quickly, but bring so much drama into our lives. Emilee started kindergarten at Sam Morgan Elementary. She loves her teacher and new friends plus is excited to learn new things.
Carly is always on the go and just wants to do what her big sister is doing. She loves going to daycare and nursery to play with friends. We are working with a speech therapist to help Carly who at 2 can only say a few words. The one word she knows very well and uses in thousands of times a day is NO.
As we look back through the year we have been truly blessed by many friends and family. As we look forward to the new year were excited for the adventures we will have.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Love Doug, Julie, Emilee, and Carly
