Merry Christmas! Yes, our Christmas greetings are late, once
again. You’ve come to expect this from
us by now, haven’t you? Although I suppose,
since as I type, we are merely on the 8th day of Christmas, there is
still time. Or, we can just think of
this letter as our annual reminder to you that Christmas isn’t about a day, or
even just a season. Christmas is about
God with us, every day.
We are well. Our oldest, AKD, is 13 and in the 8th
grade. He loves to kayak and bike, and
is looking forward to playing travel soccer in the spring. AKD is also busy with Boy Scouts, aiming to achieve
his Eagle award before his 16th birthday. AKD is a terrific problem solver and is
talking about pursuing engineering as a career, perhaps with the Coast Guard.
MC is 10 and in 5th
grade. His life revolves around football—I’m
not sure who he’ll cheer for now that his beloved Vikings are (once again) out
of the playoffs. MC took a break from
karate this fall after falling, opening a gash in his leg that required 12
stitches to close. MC’s fall was
followed by football season, where he was part of the champion Honey
Badgers. The highlight of the season was
when MC intercepted a pass in traffic during the 2nd playoff
game, which shifted the momentum of the game, leading to a victory. MC is also a Cub Scout, and is looking
forward to crossing over to the Boy Scout Troop in February.
Bubby is 6 and just started
kindergarten. He seems to like school
and has made some new friends. Bubby
loves to draw and will climb anything. Bubby lost his first 3 baby teeth this year
and learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Bubby has also become involved with Cub
Scouts as a Lion Cub and is looking forward to playing soccer or T-ball in the
spring.
Sawblock is still working as an
engineering consultant, and Scarlet is trying to figure out what she
wants to do now that all the kids are in school. We hope that all is well with you as we enter
this new year. We pray that you will be
blessed mightily.
Love,
The Bluefields
