Tonight we went to Zion to watch Owen sing in his first Christmas service, and the season has officially begun! One more day of school for the boys, 2.5 more days of work for the parents- we are almost there! Tree is up, presents are wrapped, and Dad flies in Sunday night. Let the holiday begin! What an amazing year it has been- Owen is now a kindergartener, and thriving at Zion Lutheran School. We love his teacher and his class size- 12 kids! He's reading more and seems to love learning. Ben grew this year in so many ways, the most obvious being that he's a big little dude. He'll turn 2 in January, speaks a ton of words and some excellent sentences ("we watched Mickey Mouse" and more often "Ben want it!") and is absolutely in love with animals of all kinds. He also loves his big brother and watches his every move.
Richard is working as an ink chemist at HP, leading his technical team, and I survived my first year as a project manager of a growing engineering team. We are trying to keep everything in balance as much as possible- living in Corvallis helps- short commute, family friendly, and a block away from my sister. Richard and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in September with a fun weekend get-away. That and other highlights from the year are recorded in this blog.
We are all looking forward to our two weeks of vacation together and for the arrival of Santa!
