Lucky Ladies to be surrounded by such fine men and boys


Here's a copy of our Christmas letter...

Merry Christmas

Wishing our friends and family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!! We hope you are all doing well and have had a great year. 2006 was an eventful year for us. The best part was adopting our precious daughters to complete our family! Our boys love being big brothers and we love having daughters along with our sons. Paul now says "Why didn't you tell me this would be so great?" You should see him with his girls, and boys. He's a great dad!

Nick (14), Josh (12), and Trevor (8), have had a good year. They've enjoyed being in a couple of plays at the local theater, diving club in the summer, and playing flag football in the fall. They are all involved in scouts and Nick is working on his eagle. They like school and are doing well. Josh just started playing the drums this year in band (earplugs please). They are growing up fast and enjoying life! They are at such fun ages.

Sophie and Sage (3) are delighful! They are happy, smart, busy, and beautiful little girls. They have adjusted well and fit into our family perfectly. They stay close to mom and dad's side, or their brothers', and still have fears of being left, but they have bonded very well to our family and we love them dearly. They are blossoming and learning so much. We are so happy to give them a home and a family and they have blessed our lives greatly!

Paul works hard as Sales Manager and is involved with the Boy Scouts in our ward. He enjoys remote control airplanes, shooting with our boys, and his motorcycle. I'm grateful to be a full time mom again (not teaching this year) and I'm still serving as Primary President (I love the children!). But our favorite job is being a mom and dad!

We did two Christmas cards this year so you can see Sophie's and Sage's smiles. Have you ever tried a family picture when the photographer is in the picture? We are blessed with such good friends and family, hoping to see all of you soon.

Love,

Paul, Dianne

Nick, Josh, Trevor, Sophie, and Sage
