2023 has been a year where our family like most continues on. Lizzie is progressing her way toward her music degree at Snow College. She continues to write music and perform in choirs, but she’s also trying to learn how to produce. Maybe someday soon, her music will be out there for public consumption. Josh kicked off the year with a bang, performing as Uncle Fester in the Adam’s Family for his school musical then graduated from McClintock High. He’s now just begun his journey pursuing a degree at ASU in mechanical engineering. Hannah is now a freshman at Tempe Prep. She’s participating in her school’s soccer team, choir and performed as a police officer in her school plays rendition of Arsenic and Old Lace. She also continues with Rebecca in the Chandler Children’s Choir. Rebecca is now in the seventh grade and also doing school soccer, orchestra and choir. Do you know the real reason why Rebecca and Hannah are participating in school choir? Well, because Sara is now the Tempe Prep choir director for both high school and junior high and they participate now out of forced obligation. In addition to that, Sara continues as our church’s primary president running the program for all kids under 12. She also continues her piano studio, so she’s pretty busy. I’m still working at PayPal and enjoying it there. I was also recently asked to be the president of my church’s congregation’s Sunday School, a calling I’ve been enjoying. Overall, our family feels grateful for all of the opportunities and activities we enjoy together. Most of all, we wish for you much joy and happiness this holiday season.
