Renee has been feeling better after finding a liquid vitamin that is helping her. She has even started to work part-time along with working on her genealogy. Renee's Genealogy Blog is getting popular and she is enjoying the time she gets to write on it.

Philip has been working at Walmart and preparing to start a service mission for our Church. He will be serving a full-time mission at the LDS Motion Picture Studio starting in January. We know he will be one happy boy getting a chance to work in a field he has longed to be part of. We are so excited for him.

Our missionary daughter Marie has finally come home and we are so proud of her. She served in the Missouri Independence Mission and now seems all grown up. She bought her first car, is working full time as a graphic designer and is attending college at UVSC. She is living a busy college student life but remembers to come home on weekends to do her laundry!

Garrett our youngest has just turned 18 years old and that makes us feel so old. He worked at Tunex as an mechanic, until new management took over. He has added some new cars to the collection in our driveway. Currently he is working at Office Max in the copy center. He is showing great management potential.

Our animal children: Our cats Moo and Charlie have been with us forever and they had a shock this year with two new additions. Angus arrived first a black scottish terrier that is suppose to be purebred but his legs are three times the size they should be. The latest addition is Nephi a beautiful black cat that we are still getting use to. Marie moved into a new apartment and couldn't take him with her so we adopted him. I guess you never know when you will have additions to the family.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
