Merry Christmas from sunny Jacksonville, Florida! It’s hard to believe, but this is our 7th Christmas in Florida. As we reflect on this past year, we are able to say that we have been blessed abundantly and cared for gently by our Heavenly Father.
The children have all grown so much this past year. It is fun to watch them each develop their personalities. Arianna (8 ½ yrs old) still bemoans the fact that she is the oldest, but she has stepped up to that role wonderfully. She is an avid reader and loves playing the piano. Asher (6 ½ yrs old) is now reading and this past year he has exchanged his love of hockey for football. Julianna (2 ½ yrs old) is now potty trained, talking a lot and still making us laugh. She is no longer a baby.
We were unable to travel outside of the country for much of the year because of our permanent residency applications. We are hoping that our “green cards” will arrive soon allowing us to travel freely.
We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Love from,
Cor and Marlene, Arianna, Asher and Julianna
