• Merry Christmas

  
  

  Merry Christmas to Everyone!

                                      
  When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for our family to divulge to friends, the happenings of yet another year, and to inquire of the well being of those we have not seen for some time. A decent respect for the sanity of mankind requires that this correspondence not bore the readers with redundant details.
  We hold these truths to be self evident that all our family is created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unconquerable desires, among these are chocolate, pizza and the pursuit of an extra hour of sleep.
  The following is a recollection of various happenings, etc. for our family in 2009:
  Most exciting news: the birth of Oakley Paige to the proud parents of Gordon and
                                                    Kelsey on October 3^rd.
  Most troubling news: the new President that got put into office
  Favorite Holiday: Thanksgiving
  Family’s favorite meal: homemade pizza with homemade soda
  Favorite getaway: day at Camp Swatara
  Best Deal: the purchase of Solomon’s "96 dodge pickup
  Most thankful for: the freedom we enjoy in Christ and the liberties we enjoy
                                  In our country
  Most consumed food: eggs (about 28 at each breakfast)
  One thing uncles do not do: change poopy diapers
  Most mundane chore: milking cows and endless laundry
  Biggest endeavor – Dave teaching civics at our home-school group
  2 happiest outcomes: the boys heart checkups, good water from new well
  Addictions: computer, talk radio, music, and pursuit of the Truth
  Most played games: chess & basketball
  Most faith stretching: enduring the low milk price
  Most discussed topic: politics\world events from Christian perspective
  Most amazing realization: His mercies are new every day
  Favorite new song: The Promise

  Toughest tongue twister: good blood, bad blood – say it 3 times real fast
  Goals not met: to lose 30 pounds (it’s all that pizza! )
  New names for Dave & Brenda: grandpa & grammy
  
  For the conclusion of this correspondence, we trust with a firm reliance on divine Providence your well being and protection throughout another year and pledge to all our love, thoughts, and sacred honor. (Hee Hee!! You can tell Dave has been studying the Declaration of Independence, can’t you?)
  May the Lord’s blessings fall on each of you! Dave, Brenda & boys
  
  Until next time...........
