Laurel’s Update

by laurel on December 12, 2009

Here it is the end of another year.  It is hard to believe how fast time seems to fly.  I am doing very well between taking Laura Jean and Michael every morning at 6:00 to seminary at the church and all the other Mommy things that keep me busy.  I have been working full time hours recently at LL Bean, so I am getting a bit behind on my other things, but the hours will slow down after the holidays so I will be able to catch up.  I do enjoy working with the public, so I like my job most of the time.  I am also the cubmaster for the pack at our church.  I am still learning a lot.  The boys sure keep us on our toes.

Bob has kind of filled you in on our life this year.  We are happy and healthy and hope that each of you are the same.  We miss our family out here while we live on the east coast, but we have some great friends who are like our adopted family.

Have a wonderful Christmas and an awesome 2010!!

Hi – this is Bob.
Laurel and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary in August.  We didn’t even get to see each other on our anniversary day because Laurel spent that entire week cooking for Girls Camp in Massachusetts.  But we made up for it with a special long weekend trip for just the two of [...]

Lots going on.
Lots of learning.
Lots of growing.
It will be obvious for you to see in some of our photos that neither Bob nor Laurel are tallest in [...]
