It's almost Yule-time again. 2011 was a great year for us and we hope your's was too. Faced with unrelenting economic challenges we write our story of high adventure, struggle, and growth as a family. We've spent this year adjusting to our new realities quite well, considering where we now find ourselves. Although there's no telling what 2012 will have in store for us, we have faith in our family and trust to our fate.
Elysia is now in Second grade and already an amazing person, though we may be biased. It seems every day we're reminded that she's growing up to be the kind of intelligent and empathetic person with a mind of her own. Egan has preschool once a week, and he loves it. It might be the only thing right now that he'd rather do then play video games. Roslynn is a princess. Beautiful and evil. Despite many efforts to the contrary she's still able to push her brother and dad around like a spoiled princess.
We march on into 2012, into uncertain times knowing that it's the struggle that shapes us. A life of security and luxury is a false ideal. We can see that in practice it only creates insecurity and emptiness. Our worth can't be measured by our financial insecurities. What we do is worth it because it's our story. The narrative of growth is defined by adversity. An investment in Character that pays richer then sacrifices to Mammon. The path may not always seem apparent, so we walk with faith and good will to all.
Merry Solstice & Happy New Year!
