Merry Christmas!

Make a Smilebox greeting

Christmas in the Capital, 2009

Robert: Dutifully made his way through two more hard semesters of George Washington Law School while working part-time at the law firm Koonz McKenney Johnson DePaolis and Lightfoot. He is currently looking for employment, mostly in Utah, to follow his expected graduation in May 2009.

Jocelyn: Gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in February, ran a RAGNAR in September (a crazy relay race for insane people that lasts a day and a half), and started working part-time from home as a freelance marketer/writer for justeyewear.com.

Peter: Joined a ward kiddie preschool, memorized lots of songs (like "Silent Night," "I Am a Child of God," and ALL songs related to Thomas the Tank Engine), learned to count to 20 and spell his name, and conquered sleeping in a big boy bed (shaped like a car). Also, he's *this close* to being fully potty-trained.

Jeremy: Arrived on Feb. 16, 2009 (Presidents' Day). He has been a wonderful addition to our family. Jeremy (AKA "Jer-Jer" or "Jer-Bug") loves crawling toward places he's not supposed to go, eating things he's not supposed to eat, screaming, and generally trying to annoy Peter. But he also loves laughing, making others laugh, and taking baths, and he's learning to stand up on his own using walls and chairs for support.

We hope this update finds you and yours happy, healthy, and ready for another glorious year! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
