Dearest Family and Friends,
As we have reflected on this year, we
are humbled by all of the wonderful things we have been blessed with.
It has been a great year for us and we have so much to be thankful
for.
Greg- At the beginning of this year
Greg's dad had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. He had
a tear in his aorta and we were all worried for the outcome. We spent
a lot of weekends in Utah being with family and are so grateful for
his miraculous recovery. In November Greg got a new job working at
Enterprise Rent-A-Car and has really enjoyed it so far. He continues
to run Gemtek Homekeeping in the evenings. He loves composing and
arranging music in his spare time and also has a new found interest
in astronomy (after witnessing the total solar eclipse in August).
Haley- I continue to run our household
with our three little girls. They are a lot of work, but bring us so
much joy. I also continue to work at VIPKID teaching ESL online to
children in China in the early mornings. We have had a wonderful
time this year attending my sister Cassidy's wedding, going to family
reunions, seeing fun shows, going to the new Meridian Temple, and
enjoying all of the fun outside things that Boise has to offer!
Emily- Last May Emily graduated from
Preschool. This fall she started Kindergarten and really enjoys it. I
love that she only goes to school until lunch so that she can play
with her sisters the rest of the day. Emily loves to dance, paint,
draw, and make up stories. She is so creative and girly. We love having her in our family.
Leslie- Leslie is a sweet girl with a
smile that brightens everyone's day. In October she had her first
visit to Urgent Care when she ran full speed into the corner of our
toy chest. The cut was just deep enough that she needed to see the
doctor. After the doctor put glue and a patch on it, she was good to
go! Leslie loves Nursery and playing with her sisters.
Abigail- Abby will be 20 months old
next week. She is a very playful girl, but also loves to cuddle. She
adores her sisters and loves carrying around her little baby doll.
She started going to Nursery a couple of months ago. She learned to
walk this year and has started to say words. She has been a great
addition to our family.
We are grateful for our Savior, Jesus
Christ and this time of year to reflect on His birth. We wish you all
a very merry Christmas!
With Love,
The Burrs
Greg, Haley, Emily, Leslie, and Abby
