Hello.  We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends sometime during the holidays.  It has been way too long since we have sent an update out and we apologize.  Our last update was sent on September 9, so it has been more than 3 months.

Everything is going well at our house.  Miranda had doctor appointments in Seattle towards the end of October and at that time they said she could go two months before returning.  That was a nice accomplishment.  Her next appointments will be on Tuesday, January 2.  These will just be routine appointments.

Our family had a very nice Christmas.  It was a lazy day.  We have been enjoying the break spending time with each other and playing games.  Brittany has been home since December 9, so it has been nice having her home.  Her Jan-Term begins on January 2, so she will be headed back to Forest Grove when Lorie, Tod, and Miranda are headed to Seattle.  It is hard to believe that Brittany will be done with her bachelors degree in May.  Time goes by quickly.

Well we hope that you all have a wonderful New Year’s Day and that 2024 may be a great year for you.  We thank you for the support that we have received during 2023.  We appreciate it so much.

Lorie, Tod, Brittany, & Miranda
