2010 Christmas Update

I decided to post my family's Christmas Card "update", since it qualifies as something I've written about my life. I will write more in the new year, when I'm not so busy with shopping, baking, working & drinking wine.  Well, the last two won't go away (I hope!), but the first two will!  So, here it is:

We hope our holiday letter finds you healthy, happy and laughing. Here’s our update for 2010…

WOW time goes by fast…Robbie is turning 12 in February and is now in middle school! He loves all of the social aspects of middle school, but is not a big fan of the homework load. He joined his school’s Cross-Country team and was the fastest 6th grader!  He is currently playing CYO basketball and Dan is his team’s head coach. Robbie continues to have a strong interest in music and still enjoys playing the drums. He has become such a compassionate, fun & free-spirited kid.

Andrew is turning 14 in February and like many teenage boys is growing like a weed! He is now 5’7” and wears a size 11 ½ shoe. Andrew continues to love to build things, ride his bike, golf with Dan and hang out with the family. He entered his first bowling tournament earlier this year and looks forward to participating in additional tournaments next year. Andrew continues to be a sweet boy with a big heart and strong love for his family and friends.

I have recently started a new business as a Social Media Consultant! I am enjoying it very much & have included a link below if you’d like to read more about my business. I am still running (ran the Seattle Rock N Roll ½ Marathon in June), helping out young moms in a “parents of special needs kids” group, and hanging out with girlfriends whenever time permits. I also enjoy spending time with my brother and sister-in-law, who are still recovering from their motorcycle accident, but are miraculously doing very well, thanks to the grace of God, a lot of hard work, and the positive thoughts & prayers of friends & family.

Dan is doing well, and is staying very busy as usual.  He likes taking Andrew and Robbie to the gym for workouts and to “shoot some hoops”.  At first, he was the one pushing to go to the gym.  Now the boys ask “when can we go to the gym?”  Dan is really having fun coaching Robbie’s CYO basketball team this year.  It cracks me up how they “de-brief” for at least an hour after each game!  He also enjoys playing golf with his brother and/or Andrew whenever he can. 

The four of us enjoyed a few short vacations this year visiting and/or traveling with family and friends to Tahoe, Lake Coeur d’Alene and Seattle. Dan and I were lucky enough to sneak away to Las Vegas for three days for our 15th Anniversary too!

We love and value our friends and family so much. Thank you for being such an important part of our lives!

With love,
Dan, Janeen, Andrew and Robbie
