MeRRy ChrIStmAS!
2009 was a fun-filled, crazy roller-coaster of a year. Eric had the opportunity to work for three different companies - Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, and currently, Silicon Valley Bank. No, he is not a job jumper, but the Bank Crisis made those decisions for him. And yes, as a Banker, you can blame Eric for our current economic malaise. Other than that, we’ve still been adjusting to being new parents and Angie has been struggling to win back her figure. It’s a losing battle. Through this experience we have had more than our share of mysterious illnesses, stain remover experiments, and a redecoration of the house to a more practical waistline level.
Angie enjoys her calling as a Relief Society teacher – especially when she has the opportunity to teach at the local care center where old women smack the bottoms of cute orderlies on the way back to their rooms (no lie!). Eric has abandoned his previous fruitless quest for a motorcycle and has taken on a new goal of owning a jet-ski thanks to this year’s anniversary getaway. We’re pretty sure people think we’re crazy, but at least we have fun.
Rather than bore you with endless details about our child’s amazing tooth development, famous first words, and all-too-descriptive images of what is contained in his diaper, we’ll just be content to say that Alex is the best, smartest, and cutest baby in the entire world. Not to mention spoiled . . . did I mention spoiled already? So spoiled in fact, that Mommy lugs his 26 pounds everywhere and as a result he is STILL refusing to walk (at 17 ½ months!) And sticking to my previous promise not to talk about famous first words, we’ll just casually mention that they happen to be in TWO languages (SEE? I TOLD you he was the SMARTEST!) If you should ever happen to meet our amazing little boy, he might just let you hold him . . . if you’re lucky.
On a more serious note, we want to thank our families and friends for their continuing love and support. We also are grateful to be able to celebrate our Savior's birth at this time of year. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
Love,
Eric, Angie, and Alex
