Merry Christmas 2006!

Dear Friends and Family,

The kids have grown (as usual), they won't stop!  A year or so ago we had some wonderful pictures taken about a
month after Jada-Grace arrived.  This year the photographer invited us over to have a private sitting with Santa.  It
sure beat the lines at the mall and he really was a cute Santa.

Joey and Isabella are currently in the 5th and 3rd grades.  They continue in Tae Kwon Do and currently are Yellow
Belts/2strip. They both still take piano lessons, about 6 years now for Joey and almost 5 for Isabella.  Joey hates it,
but...he has been more agreeable as he and Isabella are now taking guitar lessons too.  They love it so far.

Danny also takes piano lessons and goes to Tae Kwon Do "Little Dragons" once a week.  It is so cute to see the little
ones run around in their uniforms kicking and yelling "Hi-ya!"  Danny also goes to Pre-K two days a week and he is
currently in love.  (Don't tell him I told you)  He has a 3 year old girlfriend named Eliana that he wants to marry.  He
talks all the time about bringing her flowers and he writes her little notes on sticky tabs and pastes them to our front
door window.  He is so sweet!

Jada-Grace is bigger and bigger.  She, of course, is walking and sometimes running.  She doesn't jump very well
yet.  She bends her knees and gives it her all but her toes never make it off the ground!  Her personality is very
sweet and obedient.  The exception would be any kind of DVDs, videos, remote controls, or electronic equipment.  
When it comes to those things she is a little mischief and very sneaky, hiding them from room to room and pushing
all the bright buttons.  She is also a little bossy and you have to try really hard to not laugh because she means
business.  You can tell we have pets because some of her favorite words are "No!", "Stop it!", "Sit down!", and "Go!".
 But the thing that made me laugh the most was yesterday when at the top of her lungs she yelled, "Eee...at!".  She
has always been a good eater!

Sean and I are dong well.  We have finally fallen into a routine.  I am not sure it is the right routine but it's a good
start!  We had a great time this last summer when we got to see many of you.  We hope that you are all well and that
you have a wonderful New Year and Merry Christmas.  The Lord has blessed us in so many ways and we are
grateful.  We pray that each of you will know His blessing this Christmas time and in the year that follows.

Merry Christmas!
Sean, Jillaine, Joey, Isabella, Danny, and Jada-Grace.
