Due to my severe brain freeze that caused me to lick shut all the Christmas cards (even the ones that needed the annual letter) I am putting it on my blog this year. And it is a sneaky way of getting more people to check out what is happening to the Josh May family. I got the idea from Josh's cousin. What a terrific idea! So anyway, here is an quick update on our family
Alaina-We call her the girl of a hundred faces, always keeping us on our toes with her fabulous personality. This year she mastered potty training. Yea!! No more diapers!! She gets to stay at home all day with mom while the kids are at school.
Madison-She was a cherub in this year's Nutcracker performance. (See post below). She loves going her ballet class every week. This summer she and Riley took swimming lessons and she did great. She has loved 2nd grade and likes to read. She is miss social bug, always making new friends.
Riley-Basketball, soccer, swimming, football, Webelos, and tae kwon do-keeps us busy all the time. He loves reading. Last year, in 3rd grade, he earned 307 AR points. For those of you with kids in school that is a ton.
Carla-Scrapping, scouts, chauffeuring, and everything else that comes with being a mom. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!
Josh-After 10 years, he is no longer at Jones Sew & Vac. He is now a regional sales rep for one of their suppliers, Riccar. The company is the Tacony Corporation, based out of St. Louis. He has 11 states that he covers. He is gone a lot, but he is also home a lot too. We are beginning to rake up airline miles and hotel points though.
We hope your holiday season is filled with joy and cherished family moments. The gospel is the glue that holds our lives together. With Jesus the Christ, we can receive the wonderful blessings promised to us.
It was a windy day, but we were protected by the hill down Wildcat Hollow. Alaina had a enough after two times down the hill. She didn't have to walk up it though. Madison had a blast going down with her cousin Chloe. She didn't have enough energy to walk all the way up the hill so she would walk half way up and then sled down again. Finally, Richard carried her all the way up. Josh wasn't prepared and was sledding down the hill in tennis shoes. His feet were soaked after one run. Next time-bring boots.
