Happy Holidays!
It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone,
but all the shoes
and clothes our boys have outgrown remind us that it’s true. We’ve been fortunate to enjoy much happiness
and health in 2006, especially watching our boys grow and mature. Charlie (10) is now a fourth grade “upper
classman”
at his elementary school. He’s been
doing very well in his classes and recently joined an advanced math
program. Charlie is now also taking
saxophone
lessons at school, so we may have a musician in the family soon. Outside the classroom, his Marple Junior
Tigers football team had another very successful season, finishing
9-1-1 and
winning their conference. This year he
played
offensive guard and some defensive tackle.
During the past year, Charlie also successfully converted
his brothers
into rabid football fans as well. He’s led
them into playing football video games on every conceivable gaming
device and watching
several NFL broadcasts each week. More
importantly, he’s working hard to learn good sportsmanship and set a
good
example for his brothers. We’re
extremely proud of our Big Guy!
the 80 pound Tigers team, and despite all his eating, he has yet to break 60 pounds on the scale! Henry’s team also had a very successful season finishing 8-1. In fact, Henry intercepted a pass and ran it back 60 yards for a touchdown in one of his games! He is also playing organized basketball for the first time and seems to have a natural knack for it. But most importantly, Henry is also doing very well in his second grade class. He especially enjoys math, gym and recess – though not in that order. But no matter what Henry does, we love him dearly.  <>
