CHRISTMAS LETTER

4260- the highest elevation the Wilkinson bros climbed to on their hiking trip. (Also the number of days Reed will need to recover from the Wilkinson bros hiking trip.)

2904 feet moved from our old apt (.55 miles) into our new townhouse, no noisy neighbors and now Norahis glad she gets her own room.

1200 pm and 530 am, the times of the day Reed plays soccer. (And he dreams about playing every hourin between.)

822 -miles we drove to Utah for our family reunion. We must have taken the rain with us because theweather was cold. So we didn’t get to enjoy our free passes to Trafalga thanks to lightning and our camping trip was cut short due to heavy rain, but not before we went down the glacier river.

150-outfits, although daddy swears there are 1,500, stocked for Norah in her room

52 Saturdays of waking up to eat choc chip pancakes, made especially by daddy.

40+ different houses we have seen, and although we want to buy a house haven’t found one that seemed right. L

25^th- of October we celebrated our first year anniversary. We returned to where Reed proposed, one of our new favorite sites, Canon Beach, where we enjoyed dinner and the sunset.

22-moves in Yoga Chantel enjoys doing to relax herself each week.

17- highest score on our favorite game of boggle, many a night spent playing games with family and friends.

10 months of Chantel working at Crestview Rehab Center,as an RN, and then a Nurse Manager in February, Add to that being pregnant and she got a little stressed.

8-ish hours a day Reed racks his brain at Intel trying to come up with the next billion dollar patent.

5 -the number of people that can fit on our new, extra large and amazingly comfy couch.

4- the number of hours Norah sleeps between feedings at night.

3-the numbers of outfits Norah, and mommy go through each day.

2-there is no such thing as two to this family anymore…..because

our #1 BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL WAS BORN this year.
