Happy Holidays

This year we decided not to do a Christmas letter in addition to our picture cards we sent out. We put a little card in each envelope encouraging everyone to keep up with us on our blog or facebook.  With that being said, we decided that we best update our blog. It goes without saying that our lives remain busy, busy, busy. The parents of children whose kids are a few years ahead of ours are always telling us that it doesn't slow down anytime soon. They are not kidding.

Ryan and Tyler are both playing basketball again this winter and both are having successful seasons. You can find them at junior high and high school games on many nights of the week as well. They are both also very involved in music. Tyler continues to take piano lessons and Ryan is still playing tuba and has now taken up bass guitar. Both will be performing at the Eden Mennonite Church Christmas eve program. As you can probably tell, all that activity translates into nearly constant taxi service for mom and dad.

Andrew and Grant are not active at all (ha ha).  Andrew has enjoyed his first semester of preschool (as long as his buddy Lane is there). At least now he will tell you he has some other friends there. He is learning colors, letters and numbers and has brought home some neat projects. The preschool also had a neat Christmas program a few weeks ago. This was our favorite song --- especially due to the adorable props. (not positive the video loaded - sorry)

And he was an angel for the Christmas Story at preschool.  We decided this could possibly be the first and last time he will ever fall in the "angel" category.  What do you know, his buddy Lane is an angel with him:)


 Andrew and Grant also had a visit with Santa at the Lincoln Perk in Hesston.  Andrew was very willing to sit on Santa's lap - Grant, not so much. 

 Grant continues to work on new words and repeats EVERYTHING his brothers say. We continue to work on his speech and eating, both of which are improving. We are very blessed that they are able to go to Grandma Shari or Miss Elaine for child care each week.

We wish you Merry Christmas, a blessed holiday season, and a great 2011.
