Dear Family and Friends,
We would like to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. We have stayed very busy this year and continue to be amazed with all that Elizabeth is able to do.
This spring we celebrated Elizabeth’s First Birthday in April. My parents and my sister Monica were able to come for a visit to help celebrate. Elizabeth seemed to enjoy all the attention and all her gifts. In May we watched Elizabeth start walking without our help at all. We also celebrated Memorial Day with our Annual Picnic and the company of lots of friends from Edinboro as well as many of our King George friends. At the picnic we decided to try to burn some of the brush we had accumulated over the last few years. It turned into a nice sized fire and lots of fun was had just sitting around it and talking.
This summer we visited Colonial Williamsburg for Father’s Day and decided to get annual passes. We have made several enjoyable visits so far and are looking forward to visiting again later this month to see all of the holiday decorations. August went by very quickly, but was a very important month for me. I had LASIK eye surgery and no longer have to wear glasses. I am very pleased with the results and only regret not having it done sooner. We also enjoyed a visit from my sister Monica. We are not sure who had more fun with the toys—Elizabeth or Monica.
This fall I started work at a different elementary school in the same county. I am the reading specialist for second and third grade. I am enjoying my job a lot and have a lot less to do at home. We also had concrete poured for our new shed. We are hoping to have it finished by Christmas. Neil got to go to Tucson, Arizona for work and while he was there he got to visit a lot of family. Elizabeth was a horse for Halloween and attended a ‘baby’ Halloween Party. Elizabeth is talking more and taking charge of the house and Henry. Almost daily we are amazed with all that she understands.
If you are interested in seeing pictures and video of Elizabeth and the rest of us, please feel free to visit Neil’s webpage http://www.tk42one.com/. We are looking forward to 2006 and all the excitement that it may bring. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy year to come.
Love,
Yvonne, Neil, Elizabeth, and Henry
