Steve and Jane have enjoyed having the family around and being Grandparents to 5 of "the most perfect" grandchildren. They stay busy with their church service and decided to take a fantastic Mediterranean Cruise and got to tour Jerusalem, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Italy and Croatia:
Jeff and Kim and their kids Sam (17), Mary (15), and Abbey (7) are living in Shoreline, Washington right outside of Seattle. Jeff is leading a design team at Starbucks Global Creative and keeping busy with his music and designing. Kim is a thriving photographer and busy mother of 3! Check out her photography website at www.kimsrealportraits.com. Sam is a high school senior spending a lot of time riding his bike for fun and exercise, and he's doing well in some college classes as part of a high school program. Mary is a sophomore spending most of her time with school and is getting excellent grades. She also finds joy in wearing socks that don't match. Abbey is doing well in the third grade and making lots of friends.
Anne graduated from Utah State University in Physical Education and Speech Communications last summer and after many years in Logan, Utah has moved home to Pleasanton. While she enjoyed her time up there, she is really happy that winter no longer involves scraping snow off her car. She is looking for a good full-time job and keeping herself busy with Church activities, nannying, housesitting, reading and being an Auntie.
Mike and Chelsea are living in Livermore, California and are parents to Samantha (2 and a half) and Spencer (4 months). Mike is working as a Highway Patrolman for the CHP and has done a few triathalons this year. Chelsea is a busy Mom to Sammie and Spencer and loves to sub in Sammie's school when she has a chance. Sammie is an active toddler who loves going to preschool, being a big sister to Spencer and helping her Mommy. Spencer joined the family at the end of August and is growing quickly before our eyes!
Laura is living in Salt Lake City, Utah and after 3 years of working at the Utah State Senate is now freelancing as a Political Consultant and Political Event Planner. She lived in Las Vegas for a month working on a United States Senate campaign (trying to oust Harry Reid...). She enjoys traveling and had the opportunity to go to Greece and Spain this past spring.
We hope that you have all had a very healthy and happy year! We will be updating this blog periodically with family events, there are links to our other blogs and you can keep up with all of us on Facebook.
