Melanie and her family came to stay the week of Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time with them here. It was good to have them almost all here (Hi, Siovhan).
Our big news?! Hailey Maxine Trauntvein was born yesterday at 4:23 pm EST, in Newark, Licking County, Ohio. She was 7lbs 13ozs and 20.5 inches long. I sent separate pictures to everyone and will send more as we get them. Mother and baby are doing well.
About the children? Michael is almost a Star scout. He just needs to finish two merit badges and he will be there, then on to Life. He is now the deacon's quorum president for our ward. That will keep him a little busier. He is doing well in school and!his "claim to fame" is that he made the art teacher's heart skip a beat. He is her teacher's assistant and he hid a plastic spider in some papers on her desk. She gasped.
Tyler is playing basketball. He is on one of eight 2nd grade teams. He is doing well at school and
loves Mr. Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes is getting married and Tyler likes his fiancée as well. She comes to school and helps out from time to time.
Emily is just as busy as ever. She is joining 1st grade cheer leading in addition to her dance and gymnastics classes. Wednesday is a long day for her and now it appears that Saturday will have a
couple of hours used up as well.
We are still looking for a piano teacher for the boys. We found one, but we have to travel about 15 miles to get there. It appears that piano players out here are at a premium and that no one wants to teach it. So, on we go with the search. Until then, the boys practice from time to time, but it is hard to keep them motivated without the lessons.
Amy is doing well and work is going well. We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year!
