Merry Christmas.

Just some little facts about our family as the year ends.

John-Luke (almost 18 mos.) is the happiest and snuggliest little boy to have around.  I constantly get comments on how happy and joyful he is and it is true.  Johnny-lu loves to copy everything that James does and he has no fear.  He is also very ticklish and is totally a daddy's boy (he won't have anything to do with me when Brian is around).  He loves music, snuggling, singing, dancing and eating.  He also loves going to bed when he is tired (dream child)!  We are so lucky that he chose to come join our family.

James (3 years old. Already?) is such a lively and energetic kid.  He loves music and physical activities.  He goes to jardin d'enfants (preschool) 3 mornings a week and loves it.  He also participates in a mommy-son gymnastics class that he loves as well.  James enjoys reading, making messes, playing with his daddy and brother. James also spent 6 days in the hospital this Summer with Salmonella in his blood but is all recovered. He is (mostly) potty trained day and night (better at night than during the day).  And he is picking up some French at school and church.  He can sing "Je Suis Enfant de Dieu" (I am a child of God) in french beautifully. 

Rebecca has had a year full of school studies and baby boys.  She just graduated with her Bachelors from TWU with a 3.773 GPA!  She is currently a ward missionary and the nursery leader.  She has made great progress in the French language and is now proficient enough for most situations.

Brian is still enjoying his work and has received recognition for helping to win a large client for the Geneva office where he works.  He is currently the ward mission leader.  He loves his weekends when he can spend time with the family. 

Together we all enjoyed traveling and have visited Germany, Austria and Hungary this year.  We also took a parent/child music class together on Saturday mornings which the boys loved!  We are still enjoying our little European adventure.  This has been a good year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.  We hope that you are well and that 2011 will bring you much joy, prosperity and health.
