Happy Holidays !

Since we are not sending a newsletter with our holiday greeting card, You'll have to get it here.

Ryan is still working with Countrywide or shall we say, Bank of America. After many layoffs, he luckily still has a job and that is all we can really ask for. He continues to stay busy with surfing, running, working with the young men, and being a great daddy to Kennedee.

I,Ashley, work 15 hours a week. I used to train 15 personal training sessions, but I cut down to only 8, but now teach 7 classes. It gives me an excuse to workout. I am teaching spinning, aqua aerobics, boot camp, Weight lifting, and pilates. It keeps me busy and I love to stay busy.

Kennedee is 21 months and is wild as ever. She loves to climb, run and just be silly. She is learning several words and is now just starting to watch a little bit of Elmo and playing with baby dolls. She just got her ears pierced. Ouch!

We are so grateful, epecially this time of year, for all the many blessings that we continue to recieve. We are ever grateful for wonderful friends and family and their support. We are grateful for all the wonderful accomodations we have. We are grateful for our health, for our freedoms, and peace in our lives. We are grateful especially for Christ and his love for our family.

We wish you all very happy holidays and all the love and joy in the world.

Love,

the Roberts
