Merry Christmas!!

We've decided to go paperless this year. So I'm posting our Christmas letter here!


So starting at the top. Darren is still with HDR. In this economy we are so thankful he has remained employed with such a good company. He still travels quite a bit, but we choose to focus on the positive which is he has a great job that he loves with a great firm.

Oscar started preschool this year at Hilltop Christian. Now I realize last year's Christmas letter told you that we were going to home school the kids until they turned 8 or something. Well God had something else in mind, at least for now. Who knows what the future will hold but we were led to enroll Oscar in preschool and he loves it. Oscar just turned 5 in November and we are amazed at how old he looks and act. (And we've learned our lesson never to make declarations about what we'll be doing more than 1 year in advance.)

Calvin will turn 3 in January. He has begun to find himself this year. Somewhere around 2 1/2 he started talking. We were a bit worried since that is a bit late, but as it turns out the kid knows quite a bit! And when Oscar is at preschool he doesn't stop talking. As each kid goes through the 2's we think... now this one is the cutest ever. I guess we like that age. So for this letter, Calvin is the ctuest 2 year old EVER.

And then there is Jack. In february of 09 we were blessed with our 3rd little boy, Jack Darren Lewis. He has charmed us. Thoroughly. He gets more joy out of watching his two big brothers run around than anything else. He is such a happy baby and a perfect addition to our family.

So that about sums us up for now. What about Jennifer you ask? I'm still working on my doctorate in home economics at Lewis University. I have decided to become a professional student in that field as I love it so!

Merry Christmas.
Darren, Jennifer, Oscar, Calvin & Jack
