Christmas Thanks

All,


I have been out with the flu or I would have posted sooner, but I wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful Christmas my family had. It has been very moving and humbling (to say the least). Thank you to all of the neighbors, friends, family, ward members (including bishopric), the "elves" (you know who you are), people at work (present and past ...both mine and Jodi's) and many many other people I don't know or have left off of this list. Thank you to all of you who have given time, money, food, and energy etc. in our interest.

I have thought a lot about the kindness towards my family. I will never be able to repay (not that you are looking to be repaid) all of you for what has been done, but I hope in the future I can pass along the same kindness to someone else.

A quote from my oldest boy (Aleq), "This is the bestest Christmas ever!". Although I wouldn't want to repeat this Christmas, it has been memorable and I wouldn't have been able to make it the "bestest" Christmas without the help of all of you.

I am surprised at the response that we have received, but then I remember it is Jodi and I am no longer surprised why so many people adore and love her.


Thank you.


Robert and Jodi

Hi Jodi and family! We were thinking of you all a lot on Christmas Day. We are all so excited to read about your progress and especially your determination, Jodi. Noah can't wait to have you back in the nursery again, so keep working as hard as you have been.
