Merry Christmas!


So, we didn’t send a Christmas card (again) but we are doing a Christmas post. Here is an update on the Foxy Fam:
Baden: In his free time Baden keeps himself busy reading ancient poetry and looking at spreadsheets. (Not joking.) He rediscovered his love for tennis this summer and joined the Spokane tennis league. Baden opened a new Taco Time on Argonne and Trent this last week. Come try the new Chicken Verde Burrito! Mmmm!
Mary: Every night Mary puts her little darlings in their proper sleeping places. But, invariably by midnight the whole family is in the same bed. Hmmmm. She finished another semester for her Masters in Education at GWC. She enjoys reading and playing with her kids, trying out new recipes on her patient husband, making homeschool plans for 15 years down the road.



Eliza: Eliza is a one man parade. Her favorite things include: reading books, singing sons, helping mommy with the laundry & dishes, playing letters, playing match, taking care of her dollies (and animals, and tomtens, and reindeer) watching her ballet movie, playing with her friends in nursery, and seeing her cousins. But most of all she LOVES being a big sister. She insists on being the first to greet William when he wakes up with an ear- piercing “Hi WILLIAM!” William: William is 5 months old now! William reminds us a lot of Eliza in his love for eating, determined personality, large expressive eyes and desire to be held all the time. He is different in that he has no hair, no tan, and his stomach resembles bread dough. He has a sweet disposition and we love having him in our family. We have had a wonderful year this year and are especially grateful for all of our wonderful friends and family! We are so blessed, and want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What cute pictures of the kids. I guess it is a good thing you weren't planning to come to Utah for Christmas-- you might have trouble getting here!
We love you- Merry Christmas

Love the pictures. It was so sweet to hold little William today. He is so precious.

Hope you have a fabulous Christmas! Thanks for all you do in Primary. I don't know what I'd do without your wonderful talents and advice.

Merry Christmas Mary, my kids are still convinced that your last name is Christmas. I also have to tell you that everytime we see a PT cruiser Mason yells, not just says yells "it's Mary's car". We miss you guys so much and we will see you some time soon.
Love you Katie

What cute pictures of your kiddos! They are growing up so fast! Eliza looks just like you (in the picture of her laughing). Crazy.

Question: What got you into homeschool? I've considered it but know no one (close by) that does it. Where did you start your research?

Thank you, thank you for those cute pictures!! I've been missing Will and Lizzy so much. You are such a good little photographer- and I hear you're getting a new camera soon,too! I totally laughed outloud when I read about Will's tummy resembling bread dough... how funny!

I love you and will be missing you this Christmas! Have a great day adn I'll talk to you soon.

Looks like you guys had a fun Christmas! Funny card, too (yeah, we only got some of our cards delivered, and not too many of the goodies...I blame the weather!). We love having you guys as neighbors!
