Happy New Year Good-bye 2015

Saying Hello to Friends and Family!

Here is a little about us! Tim is most proud of his little black box and selling a few. Business has improved greatly this past year. Char is happily enjoying family and learning to adapt to constant changing work environment. Our highlights include new grandson, helping our daughter move and our backpacking trip (scroll down for pics). We had a grand family reunion to celebrate my 60th birthday.

Now children reporting in...from Jerrol and Lauren:


Lauren is proud of finishing Ellison's Christmas stocking in time for Christmas this year. It took me about 40 hours to finish (there were a lot of details!) I'm also proud of myself for being half way finished with my MA in Clinical Psychology at Azusa Pacific University; only two more years to go! Photos, top left to right: We had a very special opportunity to dine at Club 33 in Disneyland -- a bucket list item for Lauren!; we were able to go to Disneyland with Bryant and Rachel and family to celebrate Annabelle's 4th birthday. Middle, left to right: my sweet boy, Ellison; a great craft Sianna made at school; Ellison's handmade felt Christmas stocking. Bottom left to right: Sianna's birthday present for her 5th birthday in October was a trip to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique where she had a princess makeover (she chose Elsa from Frozen); Sianna and Annabelle at Sianna's 5th birthday party (they are the bestest little friends!).

Jerrol is proud of learning to grow his own food in his garden at his mother-in-law's house and his weightlifting accomplishments (he can bench press 225 lbs, squat 265 lbs, and deadlift 325 lbs).

Rachel and Bryant reporting in:


Rachel says, "I am proud of myself for making the decision to change myself. To become the person I want to be. Also that in May, marked one whole year of being a mommy of two.
This year has been unbelievably hard but I'm happy to have the good memories and to learn and grow from the unhappy."
My picture (collage) contains my favorite pictures of the year. All the pictures contain my family, because they are the reason for me to get up in the morning and keep pushing forward.





From Dace:
I am proud of our growing family and the children we are raising
From Charis:
This past year has been full of changes: having a second child, moving to Colorado, becoming a full time stay at home momma, acclimating to cold & snow... we are adapting and thriving in what God has done in our lives!
