Late Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Birds

I know, this is late. While we got this done before Christmas, it seems that typing it and distributing it are not the same thing.  But now that we are back from a great week in Michigan over New Year's visiting dear friends, and in the swing of life this side of the calendar turn, I share our very brief, Twitter-inspired, Christmas letter (with accompanying photo):

If we had to post an update on each family member on Twitter, here’s how we’d write our 140 character (or less) ”tweets”:

T (age 3): Loves Cars the movie, football, baseball, & wrestling w/Dad.  Enjoys singing, talking, running, toys, joking, & playing w/his siblings.

S (age 6): LOVES Kindergarten! Reads, enjoys math, & wants “to know how everything works!” His grin currently sports his first missing tooth.

M (age 9): In 4^th grade. Part of a kid-led worship team @ church. Still loves to draw. Taking piano from Dad. Reading “Fellowship of the Ring” w/Dad.

K (age 12): In 7^th grade. Lots of music: piano w/Dad, oboe @ school, composing @ computer. Went on a local summer mission trip w/her church youth group.

LeAnn: Enjoys one kid @ home (yet life is STILL full!). Volunteers @ school. Likes connecting w/other women. Assists w/the newcomers’ class @ church.

Erin: 7+ yrs as young adult pastor @ New Covenant Bible Church.  Weddings, counseling, leading, creating, meetings, & more create a full schedule.
