Dear friends and family,
Well another year has passed, where did the time go?! It seems like just yesterday I was writing this letter for last Christmastime. 2012 has been a busy, stressful year, but one filled with excitement and many great memories.
We started the year off with sadness- we lost our 7 year old Chihuahua Mijo to a tragic hawk accident. He was a little dog that played a big part in our family & is still dearly missed. We are planning to get a new doggy once we are in our own home. Speaking of which- Amie is finally working- but only one day a week. Once she finds one more day permanently, then we'll proceed with our house plans! Until then, we are still crashing in Jeremy's parent's basement. Jeremy was promoted to Branch Manager of the Coeur D'Alene, ID branch for Numerica Credit Union. Hayden started Pre-K at the same preschool she attended last year & thoroughly enjoys her teachers, friends & learning. She also continued with her dance classes this year (ballet, tap & tumbling)! Little Decs is getting so big. He will be two in March & is super busy always running around everywhere & keeping us on our toes with his mischief. He’s turning into quite the little man!
We spent a good amount of our summer playing on Lake Coeur D'Alene & have been resistant to the weather change here! If it's going to be this cold- it might as well snow so the kids have something to do! That about sums up our year- plus the MANY trips back to Chehalis to visit friends & family! We head west about once a month!
Hopefully all is well with you. We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year. Please keep in touch.
Love,
Jeremy, Amie, Hayden & Declan
