Christmas Card 2012

 

Mommy finally got around to making a digital Christmas photo card.  We wish we could mail everyone cards, but that just isn’t something that is easy to do from here.  We want to wish all our friends and family and very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2012 seemed like it went very quickly.  We are now going on 2 years in Indonesia.  It does not seem possible that we have been here this long.  This was an exciting year.  In March, we met up with Mommy’s parents in Taiwan for a 2-week visit.  In April, Daddy took the family to Singapore.  The kids got to see the mission office and the apartments where Daddy used to live when he was a missionary. We also went to the Night Safari and Botanical Gardens.   In May, we took a trip to Malaysia to visit more of Daddy’s old mission stomping grounds.  In Kuala Lumpur, we met up with 2 of the converts that Daddy taught on his mission.  Then we took a train to Ipoh and met up with the Church members there.  They were so kind and showed us around and took great care of us.  In June, as soon as school let out, Mommy and the kids flew to Texas for the summer.  It was a great 8 weeks!  Daddy joined us for the last 2 weeks.  The kids started school in early August. Uncle M got married in October so Mommy and the kids flew back to Texas for the wedding.  That was a fast and furious trip, but as always, it was so nice to see family and friends.  The kids are now off for Christmas break, but Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to just staying home.  Besides, Daddy is still trying to make up vacation days from earlier in the year.  This last fall semester has also been a busy one…gymnastics, soccer, Tae Kwon Do, Golf, Cello, etc.  Mommy needs these next few weeks to recharge for the next year!  We do not know what 2013 will bring, but we are looking forward to new adventures!

Cute card! I can't believe you've been there for almost 2 years, either!
