Christmas letter



We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! We are doing well here in Utah after moving here several months ago. We miss New Mexico and our many friends there, but we are excited about our new life in Utah. We are so grateful for Ken to have finished his neonatal fellowship this month after four months of "commuting" from Utah back to New Mexico to finish up. He now has the opportunity to work as a neonatologist in the NICU at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center here in Provo. The kids are all voracious readers and are becoming avid BYU fans. They are doing well in school and other activities:

Jared (15-1/2) - 10th grade, driver's permit, french horn player, marching band awards, seminary, priesthood piano player, wears glasses now!, straight A student

Marcus (13) - 8th grade, Life Scout, Deacon's quorum counselor, piano lessons, advanced band trumpet player, staight A student

Betsy (9-1/2) - 4th grade, gifted student, dramatics club, piano lessons, activity days girl, recycle crafts club, ward choir member

Adam (7-1/2) - 2nd grade, gifted student, piano lessons, martial arts (Hapkido) yellow belt, after school citizenship club

Andy (6) - afternoon kindergarten, guitar lessons, BYU sports fan, martial arts yellow belt, after school citizenship club

Ken- finally done with school and training!, Neonatologist (NICU Doctor), BYU football and basketball season ticket holder, band dad, cubmaster, choir member

Jenni-stay at home mom, holds down the fort, CTR 6 primary teacher, choir member, coupon clipper

We love living closer to family and having BYU be our playground. It seems like we are on campus weekly for concerts and other activities. We hope if Utah is a crossroads for you that you will consider stopping by and saying "Hi". We're grateful for our many blessings at this special time of year. We are especially grateful for the Savior and for his birth and life. May his influence warm your souls and give you hope and meaning in facing the challenges of life.

With our love and appreciation for your presence in our lives, Ken, Jenni, Jared, Marcus, Betsy, Adam, and Andy
