Merry Christmas. We hope this letter finds you all struggling just as hard as the B Family is. It gives us great joy to know that other families have a tough go of it too.
Heather
Heather is focused on not having a nervous breakdown. She is having a great time in life and the kids continue to be such a challenge but it’s good for her to have that. She has always liked a challenge and this is perfect for her. We did have quite the pregnancy scare earlier on in the year and thank goodness it was just that, a SCARE. We just know that if we were pregnant we would have had another girl. That would have been just par for our course. We were ecstatic to know she is just going through menopause. God works in mysterious ways.
Jack
Jack is doing wonderful. He was just voted number one dad by our two daughters and was so proud for being recognized in this family. He’s working very hard to be number one husband but has a long way to go. His job is still in the construction world and he has taken it upon himself to venture off on his own a bit and now he has so much more time to ski. He is skiing as much as he can in the winter and in the summer he rides his mountain bike as much as he can. Jack did travel to Costa Rica because we did purchase property down there. He spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica and unfortunately it rained and rained and the beach was polluted with raw sewage. We are hoping we didn’t make a mistake by buying property where we did. We’ll see.
Jordan
Jordan continues to keep us on our toes. She is now in the swearing phase of her life and is experimenting at home when she throws her fits. She loves to just let those bad words fly and see our reaction. After all she is a teenager now (13). She is now homeschooled and is determined to send her mother to an institute of some sort. Jordan continues to make us proud though. She excels at computer games, and hand held yahtzee. Jordan is our thespian She was cast in the Christmas Carol play and has 2 lines. She loves every minute of it. She is not the athlete of the family and hates winter but theatre has filled that void.
Hannah
Hannah loves swimming and has been on our local swim team for 3 years now. She competes in swim meets all over Colorado. The last meet she swam she only got disqualified once. Hannah enjoys skiing and now wants to do gymnastics. Too bad we don’t have the money for the gymnastics but she’ll get over it. She’s been there done that with us before. Hannah is also the comedian of our family. She continues to impress us during our fights and she’ll just break out with a dance or a joke just to get us all to stop. Hannah is our happy go lucky child and is really just very average.
Teller,
Even though our girls are definitely not gifted or talented, our beast of a dog is! He is soooo smart. He eats us out of house and home daily and has figured out that he can get food from our garbage as soon as we fall asleep. He’s even figured out how to open the cupboard where we keep the garbage! We are still very proud of him. He’s as big as a horse, being part Great Dane, which Heather didn’t know when she adopted him 5 years ago. She thought she was bringing home a small lab mix. Surprise!!! Teller is an incredible watch dog for our family. Anytime someone comes to the house he barks and growls and scares the youknowwhat out of whomever it is. It is a great comfort to us to know that he might attack at any given moment. FYI, call us before you come for a visit. Teller brings us great comfort and joy. We are truly blessed to have him.
Buster is the newest addition to our family. He is our cat and loves to pounce on the kids. He also scares the living daylights out of us and he is just scratching up the furniture something fierce. Too bad we bought a new couch before we got him. It’s trashed. We love him and although our house smells like cat pee we are now a complete family.
We hope this letter finds you all healthy and happy. We are still working on it.
Happy Holidays,
The B's
