Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our family had quite a 2006! Andrew has gone back to school and we are so proud of him. He also has a new addition to his household - an African Servile. Her name is Wednesday and she looks like a mini Cheetah. Right now she is 15 lbs, but she will grow to about 35 lbs. She is quite a site to see.

Cody is still in school and very involved in the community where he lives. He is a Young Life Leader and just completed his second season with the Forth Worth Cats (Fort Worth's minor league baseball team). He just got back from a cruise with some of the guys from the team. They went to Cozumel and he also visited the Mayan Ruins.

Forrest has been busy in his school as well. He also has gone on a few camping trips with his cub scout troop and he is getting ready for the Pinewood Derby. He has a new interest in animal conservation and you will often find him on many websites related to that.

Mark is so happy at his job with Memorial Hermann. It's a great place to work and he really enjoys their philosophy. He too has been busy with scouts since this is his last year as Cub Master. He just put up his new boat for the winter and we all can't wait to get back on it again.

Speaking of Memorial Hermann, they are buying the hospital where Theresa works. Since they don't have a Hospice, the one where she works is going to be their pilot. New challenges and changes for her come with that and she is looking forward to the change. She is still making jewelry and really getting creative with that. It's really a lot of fun for her.

We all spent Christmas together and then Mark, Theresa and Forrest left for Oklahoma City with a short detour to Dallas to visit family there.
