2010 Merry Christmas!

We have had a blessed year. In January my (Cindy's) mom stayed with us for three months. It was her fourth year to winter in Clearwater, but the first to stay in our condo. It worked out so well we are looking forward to her coming again in January 2011!

We added a Doctor to the family! Robyn earned her PhD in Philosophy from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. We were delighted to be able to celebrate with her.


Having Amber and Elliot close by in Tampa has been a treat. Amber keeps very busy with her graduate work at the University of South Florida (getting Masters in Public Administration with a certificate in Non Profit) and keeping up with the demands her assistantship working for two professors. She will earn her degree in May. Amber and Elliot celebrated their first anniversary in August, and we rejoice with them. He has been a wonderful addition to our family... a "keeper!"

In September we traveled to San Francisco for our nephew Paul's wedding. It was fun to gather much of the family for this occasion. Ron, Robyn, Ginny and I took advantage of some "down" time to tour San Francisco, Pebble Beach and Muir Woods. While at the woods we sampled a famous grilled cheese (if you watch the Food Network) sandwich...yes, it was good!

We look forward to family time at Christmas, celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Blessings,

Ron and Cindy
