Christmas Letter 2010
Happy Holidays!
"Evee, you get down from there!!", Jess exclaims. Evee, is teetering with her feet on red, purple, and yellow Dora powerwheels seat with her hands against the kitchen cabinets. Jess dashes over and catches her just in time saving her from enjoying a beautiful face plant into the hard wood kitchen floor. Jess is surprisingly nimble for being six months along with our family's newest addition. Uncle Nathan is over and we are cooking spaghetti on a fairly typical Thursday night for dinner.
Last year's Christmas letter described so many new things, big changes, like Evee being born, me starting a new job, and Jess working part time. You would think things would settle down a bit but as it turns out, 2010 has ushered in even more new adventures. I'm typing this letter from our University Place abode which we shopped for and purchased this past year in preparation for our growing family, getting into a good school district and just for a little more elbow room. Evee's just a couple months away from being two years old. She talks and jabbers continuously now and has an awesome sense of humor in my opinion. Just the other night she heard Miara (our cat) knocking over something in the other room causing a ruckus. She tells Jess, "Ooooh nooo. Maaya knocked it dooown. Time out." thus scolding her kitty. Some of her other fun phrases are, "no waaay duude", "oh gooodness", and "i love momma/dadda".
New hobbies this year for me have been mostly centering around settling into our new house. Oddly, I found fixing up the sprinkler system here kind of fun. Hiring a company for the purchase of and installation of a new heat pump just in time to keep it breezy for the summer time. The release of Starcraft 2 and my new Fender Stratocaster has helped me to relax at home when I'm not hanging out with the girls.
We've already hosted a couple of fun get togethers with family and friends but not nearly enough. It's our hope that this Christmas letter finds you in good spirits, serve as an update for those of you we don't get to see as much, and an invitation to come see us more in 2011! Once again, may 2011 be a year of good cheer, with health and happiness to all of you and yours.
Love,
Quoc, Jess, Evee, and baby #2
