Happy Holidays

Yes, I'm a little behind and cheap on our Christmas cards this year....but here you go.


As the year comes to a close, we have an opportunity to look back at the wonderful blessings we’ve been given during this past year. Here is a quick look into what we’ve been up to during 2010.


Jacob returned to college to receive two masters in Mechanical Engineering and Business. He has finished his first official semester at BYU, however, his research was started in May. We are excited as Jacob was asked to be on a research project that will help those in need in developing countries. His own thesis is developing a method to produce products that are collaborative, or in other words taking many common products and putting them together to create a new product. Jacob has also taken advantage of his dad’s shop with his wood working projects; such as building a shoe rack for the bottom of our bookcase. It looks like it came that way, AND it helps the clutter in our living room.


Cassanda is adjusting to living in the “big” city of Provo, learning to drive comfortably in 3 or 4 lane traffic. She enjoys staying home and taking care of the adorable Steven while creating a home for our new son, coming January 30th. Cassanda loves learning to become more domestic by trying some new recipes and attempting to be a better seamstress. It’s a work in progress for sure. She's very excited to welcome a new little boy into their house and can't wait for he and Steven to become best friends.


Steven is now our big boy. He had his first birthday in August and learned to walk shortly after. Currently his favorite past times are eating, reading, finding new places to explore and new items to play with. He also is all boy, loving to yell and figures that everything should be pounded into something else. He loves to talk, although the majority of it still sounds like German to us. Our favorite words he says includes: hi, more, eye, and of course mama and dada. We love having Steven in our home and this new stage of his life.


We love you all and hope you all have a wonderful new year!
