This year has seen much change in our family. Every member of our family has had some change in their life!<br />
<br />
We started out 2018 with a snowstorm in Charleston!! What we thought was going to be a little bit of snow that melted by the afternoon turned into major snow that lasted for 4-5 days! It was magical and gave us another week of Christmas break!<br />

Amy still works for herself as a Speech-Language Pathologist, but she moved from working at PACE to renting an office space one day a week. The other days she still goes to the homes of children who need therapy. I guess you could day she is a concierge SLP! She also helps teach the high schoolers at church in addition to the 3 and 4 year olds.<br />

Amy and Nathan were able to make a trip of a lifetime when they went to Ecuador with their church on a mission trip. They were able to work with children in the schools and the jungle there, running sports camps and telling them about Jesus. They plan on returning in July 2019. If you want to read more about the 2018 trip, read Amy's other blog, shirleygoodness.blogspot.com.<br />

So that was our year of change! But with all that change, many things remain the same. Love and family and the reason for the season. May we all remember during this special time of year that Christ came to earth to save us from our sins. He is why we can celebrate. Why we have hope. Jesus is the Reason for Christmas!</div>

Our annual Christmas post is later than usual this year because we have been busy celebrating Christmas!<br />

Our year has had the usual busyness, but starting this school year, we have had Senior year busyness. College applications and college visits and Senior thesis!<br />

And of course the regular school work. We also took a family trip with Grammie and the Storeys to Disney world during the week of Thanksgiving. Coming home from that has had us rushing into the Christmas season. So two days before Christmas I am finally sitting down and thinking about our past year.<br />

Dave continues to teach at the MUSC College of Pharmacy and is involved in the state pharmacy association. He was able to fly out to CA this year with Camden to visit family he hasn't seen for years. He also continues to enjoy hunting and fishing. He enjoys taking the boat out in the rivers around Charleston, both for fishing and water sports! He has even started writing a book journaling his hunts. He has also been busy keeping up with house repairs, but was able to find the time to go on a church youth leader retreat with Amy and go on a Christmas getaway with Amy to Pawley's Island. He and Amy have started their second year teaching the 11th and 12th graders at church.<br />

Amy continues working as a Speech-Language Pathologist. She also ran three races this year. A marathon in January, a mud run in March, and a 10k in April. She was able to go to camp and a mission trip with the youth group this past summer. Her unusual occurrence this year involved breaking her rib while going down Sliding Rock during Grammie Camp. (Sliding rock is safe to slide down as long as you don't go down in front of someone who might run into you from behind!) In recent months, she has been busy baking cookies. She and Nathan are planning on going to Ecuador in March 2018, and she has been raising money for the trip by selling cookies, cinnamon rolls, and fudge. This has been fun!<br />

Nathan is the Senior in the family! He also went to camp and the youth mission trip this summer in addition to Grammie Camp. And he volunteered at Winshape Camp this summer and worked on his Senior Thesis. His thesis involves studying the effect of play therapy on a child with Cerebral Palsy. He has received acceptance letters to Liberty University, University of Memphis, North Greenville University, and University of South Carolina. His first choice is Liberty, but we will see where he gets the most money. He wants to study Sports Journalism in college. He played church basketball and high school baseball and football; and only got one broken hand and a concussion!<br />

Camden is now in the 5th grade. He was able to fly to CA with Dave last June and had a great time with his family...impressing them with his rapping skills! He was able to go to children's camp, music camp, and Grammie camp this summer. He played basketball in the winter; track in the spring; and crosscountry in the fall. No injuries to report for him! He especially enjoyed a trip with Amy and Grammie to the mountains during the snow. He likes to hike, but really enjoys throwing snowballs while hiking!<br />

It has been a good year with lots of lasts that will be continuing until graduation in June. Next year will have many updates I am sure, in addition to welcoming Nathan home for Christmas! 2017, however, is a year for trusting God with our future...both for our Ecuador trip and for college for Nathan. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God knows the plans for us; a plan to give us hope and a future. We have to trust in that. Until the future is here, we are enjoying our time together as a family and remembering that all we have is because of Christ and His sacrifice for us. And that all began with Him coming to earth as a baby...a truth we are celebrating this December!</div>
<br />
Merry Christmas!! Love, Dave, Amy, Nathan and Camden<br />

Merry Christmas from the Shirleys!! Every year when I write our Christmas post, I enjoy looking back at what we have done throughout the year. This year, I did notice that we took less pictures....I guess the boys got their way!<br />

Other than the color of the walls in our house, (which we painted grey), the biggest change this year is that Dave became a full time professor at MUSC College of Pharmacy! This became official in July after a year of being part time. Along with this job change, he also received Professor of the Year during his part time year.<br />

Dave continues to enjoy hunting and fishing; and he and Amy have also started teaching the 11th and 12th grade Sunday School class at their church. (Nathan is thrilled!)<br />

Amy continues to work as a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist, and although she did not participate in any races in 2016, she is currently training for her third marathon in January 2017. (As she writes this, her legs are in a massager!) <br />

Nathan is halfway finished with high school, has visited two colleges so far, ordered his class ring, and is making good progress with beginning his Senior Thesis! Time is flying! He played baseball for his high school and a travel team, went on his youth mission trip this summer, volunteered at a camp for children with severe disabilities, and has started taking on more of a leadership role in his youth group. He decided to join his school football team this year, and was having fun and doing well until he suffered from a broken collar bone. Short football season, although he plans on playing next year. He also turned 16 this year and we were able to buy him a car. Good year for him! <br />

We actually surprised Nathan with a party for his 16th birthday!</div>

Camden started the 4th grade this year and is doing well in school. Over the past year, he was Michael in his school production of <i>Peter Pan</i>; played soccer; and ran cross country. He also has been busy in AWANA, playing piano, and performing in two church plays. He keeps busy!<br />

Boys' Christmas party</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nathan started having a Christmas party a long time ago! Several years ago Camden decided he needed to be able to invite friends too. It is a lot of fun for the boys to exchange gifts (some of which are bought at the AWANA store with hard earned shares!), eat lots of candy and cookies, and go caroling while going on a lights scavenger hunt in the neighborhood.</div>

In May, Amy's dad got very sick with pneumonia and had a 3 month hospital stay. After returning home and thinking he was getting better, he finally did not, and passed away on November 1. This has been the biggest change and the worst. I wrote about this on my other blog in case you have not read about him. http://shirleygoodness.blogspot.com/2015/11/dennis-ray-powell.html He was a great man and an awesome dad. This Christmas will have change and Dad will be greatly missed. The good in this is that he is healed now and spending Christmas with the first gift of Christmas...his Savior Jesus Christ!<br />

Other changes in our family life involve Dave and his job. He has started teaching at the College of Pharmacy at MUSC. He is very excited about this job change and is enjoying his new position. Right now he is only part time at MUSC, so he still works part time at Plantation Pharmacy. The new job is right up his alley and the way it played out was truly a God thing. He continues to enjoy hunting and fishing. He took up running for a few weeks, but gave that hobby back to Amy! He also has started growing a beard! He was asked to do so when he played Joseph in the church Christmas play and has decided to keep it!<br />

Amy continues to work for herself as a Speech Language Pathologist. One of her fun memories this year was running the LA Marathon with her friend Tara. It was a great experience and she would love to do it again!! No runs in the works for her now, but she is anxious to start a training plan for another half marathon...since she can't get out to LA in 2016!<br />

Her other fun adventure was with two other friends, Joey and Becky, at an outdoor women's retreat. They were involved in many fun activities (and some weird ones!), but the most fun was learning to shoot a long bow.<br />

Being a right handed and left eyed person proved to be a challenge!!<br />
<br />
Nathan finished his Freshman year of high school and is in the middle of his Sophomore year. Lots of studying! In the midst of the studying he was able to go on a ski trip in January, run a very cold mud obstacle course with two friends, play baseball for high school and for his travel team, and participate with his church youth group for camp and a mission trip. He also broke his arm at school while playing soccer! And since he turned 15, he now has his learner's permit! Stay off the roads! <br />

His biggest adventure this year was his birthday trip to LSU to see them play the Gamecocks. His birthday present was to go to Columbia to see LSU play South Carolina there, but after the flooding in Columbia, the game was moved to Baton Rouge; so he and Amy made a road trip to Louisiana!! And the Tigers won!<br />

Camden finished second grade and is now in third. He has turned 9 and is enjoying school and all his activities. He has had roles in three church choir productions and has done great! He also landed the role of Michael in his school's 2016 spring performance of Peter Pan. He played soccer in the Spring and ran cross country again in the Fall. He finished Sparks in the AWANA program at church and has started T&T. He also continues to play the piano and is doing well. He is full of life and brings entertainment and fun to our family!!<br />

Our family has grown this year..especially in height! As we look back on our year as a family, our prayer is that we will take all that has happened into the new year with a better understanding of suffering and how God can help you through it. Our prayer for you is that you will look to the Christ this Christmas season and know that He will be with you throughout your life; all you have to do is allow Him in your life!<br />

Merry Christmas from the Shirley family! As we look back on 2014, it is amazing to note all that happened in our family. <br />
<br />
We had two fun trips. One to the mountains for skiing<br />

<br />
And in between these trips and baseball seasons, we had too many house projects!! Dave started renovating our upstairs room and Amy tackled painting Nathan's room. But before either project could be completed, a water line burst under our kitchen floor resulting in total demolition and rebuilding of our kitchen! The result is a beautiful new kitchen, however, the process was long. We ate out so much this past summer that we should probably write a guide for West Ashley restaurants!<br />

Amy continues working as a Speech Language Pathologist. This year she was able to go to her association's national convention in Orlando. This led to our Disney trip. She finished her first marathon along with two half marathons in 2014. Although she planned on her marathon being her first and last, she is now training for her 2nd and last marathon in LA in March. <br />

All in all we have had a very busy year! As it comes to an end, we have been able to sit back and take a breath. So thankful for all the activities our boys are able to participate in, but happy to take time out and relax. <br />

This Advent season we have been reading devotions from The Greatest Gift. We have been learning about the people God used in the line of Jesus to bring about the birth of our Lord. As you pause to take time with family and friends this special time of year, remember that God became flesh and tabernacled among us in order that we might have a relationship with Him. May the light of His truth shine in your life during 2015!<br />

Merry Christmas!! I have the lights up in front of our house and in our house and I am feeling very Christmasy! So it is now time to sit and relax and think of what happened in our family in 2013. <br />
<br />
The biggest thing we did this year was to take a vacation to Virginia and DC during the 4th of July week. It was an awesome vacation. Lots of walking and lots of memories. Even though it was very busy during the week of the 4th, watching fireworks in DC made the trip totally worth it! During the trip we even were able to make a stop in Lynchburg to check out our old stomping grounds at Liberty University. <br />

Another big thing that happened this year was that Dave and Amy celebrated their 20 year wedding anniversary. Twenty years of growing together and building a life and family together. We are now starting on 20 more!</div>

The rest of the year has been fairly normal. Dave continues to work as a pharmacist in a community pharmacy. He also continues to enjoy his hobbies of hunting and fishing. He shot a personal record number of deer this year...2 doe and a 9 point deer. (Amy has agreed to letting him hang it in the upstairs room.) He also broke down and ran a race with Amy. He made it despite the pain in his knee. </div>

Amy also continues with her same job as a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. In addition to her volunteer activities, she is also training for a marathon. She has lost her mind!! But by January 18th, that will be marked off of her bucket list. In addition to training for a marathon, she also participated in her first mud run. It was a lot of fun and she has plans for more.</div>

Camden is in first grade and is learning so much this year. He really enjoys reading and is asking for chapter books. He also enjoys flying through his AWANA books by learning all his verses. He played baseball this year and moved up to coach pitch. Although it may not be his favorite sport like it is Nathan's, it was exciting to see him start hitting the ball during the game. He continues to be a happy boy full of energy and curiosity. He was very excited when his sunflower seeds grew into flowers this year! </div>

So that is our year in a nutshell. Our boys are growing up into young men that we are proud of. As we move forward into 2014, let us remember why we celebrate Christmas. It was the birth of a young baby boy who grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. That is our prayer for our boys. To end this synopsis of our year, the best thing that happened this year was that Camden accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized. We now have two sons growing up as Christian young men who love Christ. For this we are truly thankful and blessed.</div>

As I sit down to write our 2012 Christmas blog, I am saddened by the recent events in CT. Having a 6 year old, it is hard to imagine losing him and then trying to celebrate Christmas. I pray, as I know many of you are doing, that God will be real in the lives of the families affected. That they will know true peace on earth this year. It also makes me realize how important it is to tell our children about why Jesus came to earth to begin with. Children need to understand Him and that He loves them and wants to be their Savior. <br />

Having said that, the best thing that has happened in our family this year is that on December 11, Camden made the decision to become a Christian!!! He has been asking lots of questions this past year about God and heaven, and then he finally asked how he could become a Christian. He did so to Nathan while they were taking a shower!! Funny timing, but Nathan was so excited to be involved in the conversation of how to become a Christian. Camden tends to be silly, but he was serious about this.<br />

Camden is 6 and has been learning a lot in K-5 this year. He loves to read, and likes to color and draw. He also is enjoying Sparks at church. He learns his Bible verses each week and is eager to move on in his book! Although he still is silly, he is starting to mature. His Sunday School teacher is disappointed that he is not doing all the crazy things that his teacher last year reported! He is starting to play basketball at church and has finally learned to ride his bike without training wheels. He is a joy!<br />

Nathan is 12 and started the 7th grade this year. He skipped the 6th and has found it very challenging to do 7th grade work...still making good grades, just more B's than A's. He is getting the hang of 7th grade literature, and learning Algebra 1. Whoo! He continues to be very interested in sports. Baseball is the sport of choice, but he also has played basketball in two different church leagues.<br />

In baseball he made the All Stars team this summer! He was very excited, and although the team didn't go far, he did a good job pitching and playing short stop. This summer, he was able to participate in the youth mission trip. Actually, it was a church wide mission trip to Charleston and we all participated. Nathan had a great time with all the youth, but more importantly, his eyes were opened as to the need of others. Nathan is a great big brother and continues to grow with his tender heart.<br />

Amy continues to be a full time mom and part time Speech Language Pathologist and overall busy lady! Dave sold her van this year with her 13.1 sticker, so to get a new one, she signed up for a half marathon in January. Lots of running for her this fall, but she enjoys it. And she even got new running shoes as an early February birthday present!! Fun colors help when you are on mile 9!<br />

Dave is still working at Plantation Pharmacy. He is the favorite pharmacist for many of our friends! He also has kept up hunting and fishing. He shot his second deer this year, but his first buck. He was excited. If you want to see his deer, go to <a href="http://cordrays.blogspot.com/2012/09/david-shirley-got-nice-8-point.html">http://cordrays.blogspot.com/2012/09/david-shirley-got-nice-8-point.html</a>. It didn't seem appropriate to put in a Christmas letter, what with reindeer being used by Santa and all!<br />

The other big thing that has happened this year is that we got a dog! He is a beautiful black lab, however, he is a menace at times!! He was 10 months when we got him, and has actually started to calm down a little. He just wants to be with you all of the time and climb on you and jump on you and chew things!! The one thing good I can say about chewing, though, is that he has left the Christmas tree and presents alone! He is sweet and the boys love him and Camden is no longer afraid of dogs!<br />
<br />
We were able to make a trip to visit Dave's family this year, and that was very enjoyable! We toured San Francisco and were able to catch up with loved ones we had not seen for several years. We also are making a quick trip to Myrtle Beach before Christmas to play in the indoor water park and visit the Bass Pro Shop. We try to have fun when we can!<br />

So that is what is happening in our life. Our prayer for your family his year is that you trust in the gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ, as you enter into the new year. He is the reason for the season!!<br />

Merry Christmas! As usual, I can hardly believe that the year is almost over! It has been another year of adventure in our family. Last year Dave hit the big 40, and this year was my turn. Also Nathan was excited to turn 11 and Camden turned 5! Time keeps marching along!<br />
<br />
So what is happening in our family...<br />

Dave continues to work at Plantation Pharmacy, but also continues to enjoy his hobbies of fishing and hunting. He was happy that he was able to get his first deer this year and is learning about cooking venison. He also enjoys hanging with his two boys both in the outdoors and at home. Usually Dave is in the middle of some project in the house, but this year he didn't have as many major things to do! After finishing the kitchen repairs and painting at the end of 2010, we contracted out the job of cabinet refacing to a friend. Our kitchen looks fantastic thanks to both of them!>

As mentioned previously, Amy turned 40 this year. To celebrate, or to forget, she met her sister, Jennifer, for a girl's weekend in NYC! It was a weekend full of walking around Central Park, eating at great restaurants, and catching a couple of plays! It was awesome and I can't wait until she turns 40 in order to go back! Other than that, she continues to work as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, volunteer at church and the boy's school, and try to keep the household going! <br />

Nathan has started 5th grade this year and was excited to be able to move up to 6th grade math.<br />

He has decided that he really likes math, although he still wants to be a pro-baseball player when he grows up, in addition to being a politician and attend culinary school. Yes, he still enjoys watching the food network! He also continues to play baseball at the positions of pitcher and shortshop.<br />

He loves his class and has made some good friends with the other 5 boys in his class...a class with only boys! He continues to be silly and full of life! <br />

He played t-ball and soccer this year, and although he had fun, let's just say that he has not yet developed a competitive spirit!<br />

Our trips this year included Amy's trip to NYC; Dave and Amy's anniversary weekend in the NC mountains (18 years!); a trip to Atlanta to see a Brave's game (they won!) and the Georgia Aquarium; and our family vacation to Florida. Although we didn't have a Disney vacation, we did go to a Disney waterpark and stay at a Disney hotel. We also went to the Jacksonville Zoo, Legoland and Juniper Springs state park. It was a fun week!<br />

We are bringing our year to an end with lots of busyness; lots of decorations in the house; shopping, shopping, shopping; and hopefully some baking! We have also been trying to keep Christ at the center of our Christmas. One way we have done that is through participating in our church's Christmas play. Dave is a shepherd, Nathan sings a solo, and Amy is Mary with no singing!! Camden's involvement was to make people smile while they were singing by dancing during the finale!<br />

We hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle and even the Advent activities, let's all remember to thank God for all of His blessings and His help in our times of need. <br />

We started out the year saving money for our Disney trip in September, but couldn't wait for a getaway until then! Dave and I took an anniverary trip (17 yrs) to the NC coast; and then the boys and I took a roadtrip to the same area to see the sites. It was a lot of fun to just get away. We also took a trip to the mountains on Labor Day weekend. Dave was going fishing with his friend, so his friend's wife and I took our kids and tagged along! We did sort of the same in December when Dave was sent away on a fishing weekend. The guys went to NC to fish and the wives and kids went to Myrtle Beach to have fun at an indoor waterpark! And of course we can't forget our trip to Disney. It was truly a magical week for us and my side of the family when we met and spent a week with Mickey and friends!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj46le5NiziUUAfP1rH9COR12rV2Sk57ikPUgsQR4pnzL7sIq-cG_4gUom60YYoehGE2HGMSiyptS8Cc_OnrcZ5m1TAWBsHsIxsD6vBHVwCVT-4AivFcMQ2CoLJp7ncJovaLDRBPerr3s/s1600/amydave.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj46le5NiziUUAfP1rH9COR12rV2Sk57ikPUgsQR4pnzL7sIq-cG_4gUom60YYoehGE2HGMSiyptS8Cc_OnrcZ5m1TAWBsHsIxsD6vBHVwCVT-4AivFcMQ2CoLJp7ncJovaLDRBPerr3s/s320/amydave.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501059912586786" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIr2mLHglYEd4TgGcURp7lCEE22Gkv2Opde8v3uVDoT0qHBoJCaGmc6axgohxI5lYWu9v7knOF5y-L3dW81xlprv6YIUY0-hhRFNreJvYKgQcnmZr2fha1en6VH91stZPq4J-szw7gQc/s1600/DSC_0070.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIr2mLHglYEd4TgGcURp7lCEE22Gkv2Opde8v3uVDoT0qHBoJCaGmc6axgohxI5lYWu9v7knOF5y-L3dW81xlprv6YIUY0-hhRFNreJvYKgQcnmZr2fha1en6VH91stZPq4J-szw7gQc/s320/DSC_0070.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551504534649970866" /></a><br /><br /><br />But enough with our trips! What is happening with the Shirley's?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8oIyDr3QQwryF99gJGCP-LcyBBaLTcVFcF6eDf6h8qx9uN4Vtf-B-Cw1mqFaPh09aoLcVZI1wD2JHK26-iJjTvsaA9KgspYqGoqWFywraKBpvP7X9vo3HW1P4cBaI3Lkzz4ztnOcVzRc/s1600/102_5246.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8oIyDr3QQwryF99gJGCP-LcyBBaLTcVFcF6eDf6h8qx9uN4Vtf-B-Cw1mqFaPh09aoLcVZI1wD2JHK26-iJjTvsaA9KgspYqGoqWFywraKBpvP7X9vo3HW1P4cBaI3Lkzz4ztnOcVzRc/s320/102_5246.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501710585811506" /></a><br /><br />To begin with, Dave. He turned 40! Wow! Big change in his age! Thus the December fishing trip. Amy surprised him with that gift! In addition to getting older, Dave continues to work at Plantation Pharmacy in Charleston. Which brings up another trip...a business trip for Dave. He went to medicine compounding training in Houston for a week. And guess what he got to do down there? Fish of course! He drove to Gavelston, TX on his last evening for this activity. He also is involved in a Christian Fishing Association in Charleston. Lots of fishing this year, and lots of hunting too. He is enjoying being an outdoorsman.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijLkdGMfOq60aOKLYteZ9GIFWt2MdJGBaQf4px-hgZC6D-kR782gWpU-dfYy911VEgD-h5WFXSm3GgPTwctyKEKZm_cuJob_pQKbOhtKdrJUI2TAqZ5pOCnLWS7CXJOSYu_IPJYLHxsh8/s1600/100_2671.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijLkdGMfOq60aOKLYteZ9GIFWt2MdJGBaQf4px-hgZC6D-kR782gWpU-dfYy911VEgD-h5WFXSm3GgPTwctyKEKZm_cuJob_pQKbOhtKdrJUI2TAqZ5pOCnLWS7CXJOSYu_IPJYLHxsh8/s320/100_2671.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501720598444866" /></a><br /><br />Amy has had some changes this year as well. She continues to be a pediatric SLP; but in addition to working for herself, she now works one day a week at a school for severely handicapped children. The name of the school is Pattison's Academy and she has been involved in their summer camp for five years now. This is the first year they have had a school and it has been exciting to be involved in such an awesome undertaking. She also continues to keep busy with volunteering at Nathan's school in the fundraising area; helping with class parties at Camden's preschool; and being the AWANA Cubbies director at her church. All this and planning more trips for our future! She loves to travel!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUMfR0jXQjzaMiSGcVLpxTt2M_DZk3O5VZfYxe6kNNzuqqsHFwI7c1OsQ8ssgTa3eQigbYJu4TwXCgPc3ytfmv4r-imNkrs5Qr6vTrvwvgC0uBA04OMmnZZMH2BP8AfFOf2htH3fdq9c/s1600/100_3485.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUMfR0jXQjzaMiSGcVLpxTt2M_DZk3O5VZfYxe6kNNzuqqsHFwI7c1OsQ8ssgTa3eQigbYJu4TwXCgPc3ytfmv4r-imNkrs5Qr6vTrvwvgC0uBA04OMmnZZMH2BP8AfFOf2htH3fdq9c/s320/100_3485.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501041086850546" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuu2o9fVyMtLRIZg6mXEvl3hFP7XHvpd43IL-WHCuZ2lqisZdVUm78KIshJJCgY_txBFPyl87qK4pImdTjcCQVF-dFG0reHS1cz_MY5_qn4lfSPA8upPaRlb-FEkeUJtBeVtrx_TZnI7E/s1600/100_2933.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuu2o9fVyMtLRIZg6mXEvl3hFP7XHvpd43IL-WHCuZ2lqisZdVUm78KIshJJCgY_txBFPyl87qK4pImdTjcCQVF-dFG0reHS1cz_MY5_qn4lfSPA8upPaRlb-FEkeUJtBeVtrx_TZnI7E/s320/100_2933.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501044203418450" /></a><br /><br />Nathan continues to grow up into a young man full of potential. He has entered double digits! He still takes piano lessons (sometimes grudgingly!) and is doing well with improving his skills. He continues to play baseball and basketball, but baseball is his main sport. He moved up into kid pitch in the spring, and in the fall was one of the pitchers on his team. And even I , who does not know much about the sport, could tell that he is a really good pitcher! The best news for him, however, is that he no longer needs to wear glasses. We are not too sure that he ever needed them to begin with! That is another story!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEFTeQCatpkM9zTMvoB2aGWs3T-ARpi_TqHiDRuKwf3qfHHaB_uuvBZxZFVACiHiHH6pCD8z4Y6OSHoH_pg3CUOGC6n3kUf19fkzqgKoH7fWTB4v8O2R-6ShiIotjeBqdIfhsaQH2jj4/s1600/100_3484.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrEFTeQCatpkM9zTMvoB2aGWs3T-ARpi_TqHiDRuKwf3qfHHaB_uuvBZxZFVACiHiHH6pCD8z4Y6OSHoH_pg3CUOGC6n3kUf19fkzqgKoH7fWTB4v8O2R-6ShiIotjeBqdIfhsaQH2jj4/s320/100_3484.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501036082908050" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDgi65tA4nThhtBmKBQ-3OcuqGcNYqmKjSdlb_UEGNASFmNuUxjkxOT5kk3skJ-bV5ZBBLvirJbNTIm76thx7zOj3BiS1O_BloOEAVfyxkEftxrUojPdrsB8np2Si3G_UyMEIu8qiLdY/s1600/100_2983.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDgi65tA4nThhtBmKBQ-3OcuqGcNYqmKjSdlb_UEGNASFmNuUxjkxOT5kk3skJ-bV5ZBBLvirJbNTIm76thx7zOj3BiS1O_BloOEAVfyxkEftxrUojPdrsB8np2Si3G_UyMEIu8qiLdY/s320/100_2983.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501051169992754" /></a><br /><br />Camden, our baby, has turned 4! And what a 4 year old he is! He is, as one girl in his class called him, very silly! And he continues to come out of his shell. If you visit our house, he will give you a tour of everything he owns! This year he saw his first movie in a theatre, <em>Toy Story 3</em>, and has been into Toy Story ever since. He likes to play act and in general be a kid. It is great to see! He continues to attend a preschool, has started AWANA Cubbies this year, and loves to sing! It is fun watching him grow.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtb6wY-P0yGSCnFVuKAcsdMfE02oumYhkehvu_OxA-m8de6bUpZ6oKaVmCqQMPWBiauWS6pHNTCsMreMrj44eTEqXc909Sn9y0LqKOmq9cOueEyN27_2xkjmzUoEo-mfjiMqLCPwHAZE/s1600/100_4041.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtb6wY-P0yGSCnFVuKAcsdMfE02oumYhkehvu_OxA-m8de6bUpZ6oKaVmCqQMPWBiauWS6pHNTCsMreMrj44eTEqXc909Sn9y0LqKOmq9cOueEyN27_2xkjmzUoEo-mfjiMqLCPwHAZE/s320/100_4041.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551501701341974258" /></a><br /> <br /><br />Well, that is our year in a nutshell. We have been very blessed this year and are grateful to God. But as I count our blessings, I am reminded of our friends and family who have had struggles this year. I also know that as we go through life, we have and we will encounter our own struggles. But as we set aside time this year to focus on the birth of our Messiah, let us all remember that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. -Job 1:21<br /><br />Merry Christmas!

First, 2009 brought a change to his career. For seven years he had been working at the Prescription Center in downtown Charleston, but after the store was sold to a chain pharmacy, he started working at another independent pharmacy, Plantation Pharmacy. Other changes have been to his hobbies! He is still into fishing, but traded in his bass boat for a salt water boat. This has been fun for the whole family since we are able to do skiing and tubing in addition to fishing. He has also started a new hobby, hunting! No deer yet, only doves and lots of time in the woods!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYpAu4nFDP3jvnp9RJKoA582krrQ6AWJzMDRFaHlVmtqzSf8qIWBvprUojM5d3WyYDx6OpJuBToGID1zUfvqI6PJOTOxdL4oUbi9PwopsjJhHUt4D1FR757nHrWATUfjx6T1_5p7tnck/s1600-h/100_1163.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYpAu4nFDP3jvnp9RJKoA582krrQ6AWJzMDRFaHlVmtqzSf8qIWBvprUojM5d3WyYDx6OpJuBToGID1zUfvqI6PJOTOxdL4oUbi9PwopsjJhHUt4D1FR757nHrWATUfjx6T1_5p7tnck/s320/100_1163.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415312980969013634" /></a><br />For Amy, she continues to work part-time for herself as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and also enjoys staying at home with her boys. This year she volunteered to be in charge of Nathan’s school’s fundraiser! This may have been a crazy decision and definitely involved a lot of work, but it turned out great and was enjoyable in many ways! The fundraiser involved the students taking part in service projects and it was neat to arrange for them to serve in their community! Her other interests include scrapbooking, quilting and blogging! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmZ9BTejN3xZGzwHEwSBNzKnQwcv7G9jQz_jBckvfs0YW3mk7fT13xm6ilicpSKadHMvOu1Ipf54BOF4C5slL61FpOsJC4UQKTMvgijyxcWR9cBAa4aoX0hayuLUSXC3g0eE6Dzo6a8BA/s1600-h/100_0506.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmZ9BTejN3xZGzwHEwSBNzKnQwcv7G9jQz_jBckvfs0YW3mk7fT13xm6ilicpSKadHMvOu1Ipf54BOF4C5slL61FpOsJC4UQKTMvgijyxcWR9cBAa4aoX0hayuLUSXC3g0eE6Dzo6a8BA/s320/100_0506.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415321901267818818" /></a><br />Nathan continues to learn and grow in school, church and extracurricular activities. He is in the 3rd grade now at a small Christian school; plays baseball in the city league; basketball at church; and takes piano lessons. He is currently involved in starting a band with 3 other friends; writing songs and playing the guitar! He also enjoys skateboarding and riding his scooter. And he learned to snow ski this winter! His biggest change, however, was that he started wearing glasses!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBWlzxlBwf_pbCBKHd9ChW9iNG1iMZY0tD5TJckRWpzbupPw4ANw3ia4DzUjJtpGlodbJl8UxLO5dvqIO-_XIBRqJR5KYXYIWe-AYqudL6b3JEBB2lo2UuuaHYQDiyz18zGCyHfETmUk/s1600-h/100_0753.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBWlzxlBwf_pbCBKHd9ChW9iNG1iMZY0tD5TJckRWpzbupPw4ANw3ia4DzUjJtpGlodbJl8UxLO5dvqIO-_XIBRqJR5KYXYIWe-AYqudL6b3JEBB2lo2UuuaHYQDiyz18zGCyHfETmUk/s320/100_0753.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415314462971583682" /></a><br />Camden is growing into a sweet little boy! Once he started talking, he hasn’t stopped! He learned his letters and numbers and enjoys singing. He imitates everything we say or do, especially what his brother does! He started Westminster Preschool this year-the same preschool that Nathan graduated from-and it is like we are doing the same thing all over again! He is really interested in Thomas the Tank Engine and got to take a ride on Thomas this year! Lots of fun!<br /><br />In addition to taking a trip to see Thomas, we also want to Boone, NC for a skiing weekend. And we took a week off and rented a lake house with some friends. Lots of fun on the boat and in the sun!<br /><br />It has been a great year and we have had loads of fun watching our boys grow up! As you can see, they are two handsome guys!
