Merry Christmas! We hope this message finds you and your loved ones well.
Considering that Kris is in the web biz, he thought it was time to stop designing a paper holiday mailing every year and try issuing our holiday card online instead. So if you got our holiday photo card in the mail and are now visiting our blog, it worked!
And this way, there's also somewhat less to write — some of the news is already here from previous entries. So please browse as time permits, and see what happened with us this year!
As for a quick summary:
- Katie is in her eighth year of working in Fairview Southdale's emergency department, and works a 60% schedule. This gives her at least two days per week as an at-home mom, and provides time to be participate in various activities at church, the Y, and with friends.
- Kris is starting his eighth year at the University of Minnesota (and his fourth year working for two of its senior vice presidents). He researches new web publishing tools and technologies, keeps over 50 University web sites up to date, and runs an annual continuing education conference for web designers.
- Sarah is in sixth grade at Anthony Middle School. She loves being able to bike to her new school, enjoys her classes, and is also in band (flute). She is also active in climbing, church choir, and soccer. This fall, her Minneapolis United team concluded the year with a second place regional tournament finish, the final game being their only loss all season.
- Grace is in third grade at Armatage Montessori School and also had a strong soccer season. When she's not playing soccer, she can be found playing the piano or at her school's On Broadway musical theater practice.
- Emma is in kindergarten at Armatage Montessori School and loves being out of preschool. Her main extracurricular focus at the moment is perfecting her downhill skiing technique.
- Anne is in day care 3 days per week, but about to start Montessori preschool in January. Anne is a whirlwind and keeps us laughing all the time...when she isn't driving us crazy, that is.
Best wishes for 2009! And if you have extra time, browse any of the earlier entries in this blog, or the gallery below of previously-sent holidays cards from years past.
