MERRY CHRISTMAS & Happy HOLIDAYS
FROM THE HALLS
December 15, 1999
DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
WE HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD YEAR. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN QUITE INTERESTING FOR OUR HOUSE. WE SPENT THANKSGIVING ALL ON OUR OWN. JUST THE FOUR OF US. WE ARE BECOMING QUITE THE HOMEBODIES. CHRISTMAS MAY BE JUST THE SAME. NICE AND RELAXING FOR CHRIS AND I. WE ARE ENJOYING OUR CHURCH VERY MUCH AND SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME EITHER WORKING OR CHURCHING.
THE KIDS ARE GROWING A LOT!!! SAMANTHA IS FOUR AND HALF NOW AND SHE IS A TALL STURDY GIRL. ALREADY STANDING UP TO TAMMY?S CHEST, WE WONDER WHERE OUR LITTLE BABY WENT. SHE LOVES PRE-SCHOOL AND PEOPLE. SHE IS ALSO VERY ATHLETIC. BIKE RIDING CLIMBING AND DOING THE MONKEY BARS ARE SOME OF HER FAVORITE THINGS TO DO.
DANIELLE HER THREE-YEAR-OLD SISTER TRIES TO KEEP UP WITH SAMANTHA AS MUCH AS SHE CAN. SHE ALSO IS GOING ACROSS THE MONKEY BARS. SHE IS AMAZING. THREE FEET TALL AND LESS THAN 30 POUNDS, BUT SHE CAN MAKE IT. DANIELLE IS TALL BUT THIN AND TINY. HER FAVORITE THING TO DO IS (HOLD YOU) HER WORDS INSERTED HERE. AND SHE DRINKS LIKE A CAMEL. ALL THE TIME. GIVEN A CHOICE OF A MEAL OR DRINK SHE WOULD CHOOSE A DRINK.
ENCLOSED IS A PICTURE OF OUR GIRLS. LOVE THEM UP IN YOUR HEARTS. THEY NEED ALL THE LOVE THEY CAN GET.
WE BOUGHT A " NEW"; CAR RECENTLY. IT?S A 1966 DODGE DART CONVERTIBLE. OUR 62 NOVA WAS TOTALLED BY A WRECKLESS DRIVER WHILE TAMMY WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM A JOB AND TAMMY IS STILL FEELING PAIN IN HER SHOULDER FROM IT. WE HAD THE DART FRESHLY PAINTED AND IT FEELS LIKE A NEW CAR. WE CAN?T WAIT FOR SUMMER TO TAKE RIDES TO THE BEACH IN IT.
CHRIS IS WORKING IN SALES INSTEAD OF MANAGEMENT NOW. HE LOVES HIS JOB BUT IS STILL WORKING ON INCREASING HIS SHARE OF BUSINESS. TAMMY IS HELPING OUT WITH A JOB SHE RECENTLY GOT AT GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL. SHE WILL BE WORKING IN ADMITTI NG, UNTIL SHE GETS PROMOTED ELSEWHERE. OH BY THE WAY, TAMMY GRADUATED FROM DEANZA COLLEGE THIS SPRING AND WILL BE CONTINUING ON HER WAY TO SAN JOSE STATE IN THE FALL TO PURSUE A DEGREE IN ECONOMICS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. STAY IN HIS GRACE AND YOU WILL STAY IN PEACE. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS; I CAN FEEL THEM WITH US. WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU EITHER.
HAVE A GREAT Y2K!!!!!
CHRIS, TAMMY, SAMANTHA AND DANIELLE
