where is everyone

here is second part of my christmas letter. where are all the kids? Well,
Of course, you all know emily and joe had a baby girl, Zoey. she is beginning to put on weight and get some baby fat. they live in south beloit and they work for edwin.
elizabeth is studying in england at cambridge. she will be home for a few days for christmas. she more trips planned for next year, but hopefully, we will be going to england to see her before she leaves.
edwin is a junior at judson university. he is still studying secondary education. he passe all his classes. he is looking for a girl friend, um, wife. he wants dark hair, dark eyes and christian. he will accept any referrals.
ethan is a freshman at emory university. he just finished is first semester and am sure he did well in classes. for that kind of money, he better had. he is on his way home tonight.
anya is anya with an ATTITUDE. between hormones, stubborness, and anything else, she is got a big attitude problem. at 12, it is all about anya and making life miserable for the rest of us. she is good at shoveling the snow off the driveway. she is fun when she isn't complaining, eating, or watching too much tv.
alphia has come back to us. for awhile, we didn't know what happened to her personality. now, with her meds she back to herself. her reading has improved and she is up to 3rd grade level now. spelling continues to be an issue for her. she is getting a lot of help at the new school, Rockford Academy. she gets help from harlem schools and from an aid at the academy. she is a good teacher. she also continues with her therapy for capd and dyslexsia.
edwin contiunes at the roofing company. and he continues to stress, but God has been good and hopefully things will turn around soon.
i, continue to do esl, teach ss, and take care of all the kids. my biggest thrill right now is that 2 new toliets will be installed tomorrow. Wow! how exciting!
2008 has brought many blessings and challenges. God has blessed us and taught us many things.
we are looking forward to good 2009, in spite of the economy. God is our strength and we know will guide us through whatever 2009 brings.
Bless you and i pray that you find comfort in God no matter what your situation today.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
