Happy New Year!!



We hope everyone has a safe, happy and healthy New Year!!! We are looking forward to moving in  2009!!! And to catch up on the latest events, Ken ran his second Marathon and did it in 4:10 and was still smiling at the end!!!! Maddie started playing basketball and taking tennis lessons and is enjoying both, she also had her first band concert. We all had a wonderful Christmas, not quite the same as last year being home with everyone, but we loved being together and were thankful for that. We had Christmas Eve dinner  at our favorite Izakaya (bar and grill in Japan) Kitakaisens, we went there after church with several friends from church and had a wonderful time. We got to see the Botanical Gardens all decorated for Christmas again this year, I really look forward to going, we missed it last year, as it is only decorated for a couple of weeks.

We went with our friends the Arrietta's, and the Hafer's. So here are a few highlights from the latest events.

Very cool post; love the pics! We were recalling last New Year and our fun reunion, and we look forward to the next time we're together...though we don't know when that will be. :)

Trey might have to check with Ken about running. He's going to start track at Air Academy High this spring, and cross-country next fall. He's about 6'2" and has long legs like Ken. Obviously, running is something Lee and I can't help him with!

Maddie sounds busy - like usual. :) I know you all are very proud of her accomplishments.

Happy New Year!
