I hope that everyone has had a great start to 2011. I think that I am glad to see 2010 go. It was a year that brought us some of our highest highs and lowest lows. Just thought that I would share our Christmas card and letter (not really a letter more of a paragraph - but you get the idea...)

We hope that this finds you ending an amazing year. We have had a whirlwind of a few years but God is faithful and we are so blessed. We are settling into life in Texas and enjoying the warmer weather of the south again. Over the past two years we have spent time in four different homes and three states. We enjoyed time in Kansas living close to family but we are all adjusting well to our new surroundings. The kids are growing like crazy and loving life. Eli is doing amazingly well. His injections are balancing his blood work and helping to relieve most of his more serious complications. He is doing amazing in school and loves it. Sometimes I forget that Kiley has just turned three. She is enjoying playing with friends, going to open gym for gymnastics, and trying her best to let everyone know she is in control. Brian is working for the DOD and we are enjoying the family friendly aspects of his job. He enjoyed coaching Eli in soccer this fall, hunting, and is training for a Tough Mudder competition. I am enjoying being with my kids, helping at school each Wednesday, and woman’s bible study. We are praying that this year is one of your best and you take the time to enjoy the truly important things in life.
