To My Dear Friends and Family,

Wow, has it really been another year? I’m sure you’re all wondering who made the honor roll this year. Well guess what? It’s been a great year for all our children -- Little Priscilla, Prescott, Alexander and Courtney-Brittany. All four, star students.

We started off the year with a fabulous skiing trip to Utah. Courtney-Brittany is still on the Bunny-Hill, but the big news is . . . she’s potty trained! (though still making a bit of poopy in her undies each morning).

Alexander is playing the Trumpet now. And Little Priscilla is still doing ballet. So, the house is a sea of toots and tutus!

It’s hard to believe how big Prescott is getting. He’s earned 53 cub scout badges and he scored 70 goals in soccer, a remarkable comeback after recovering from an unfortunate incident of being thrown out of the school bus.

My life has certainly been exciting. I’ve changed jobs! I am an executive assistant in an alternative medical facility. And I have discovered colonic irrigation! Definitely, a must doo.

We had a glorious summer vacation in our cottage in Sparta, New Jersey. Courtney-Brittany caught 4 toads. Alexander caught a butterfly. Prescott caught Herpes V.

Tom had a benign cyst removed from the back of his neck, 3/8 of a centimeter in from the shoulder injury he suffered last year. It caused him some pain, but the thoropharactalenzaterine is a wonder drug.

Muffin Chops, our beloved beagle, has finally fully recovered from his eyelid surgery, and in September we all welcomed Whiskerbiddle (on my lap in the picture) our new tabby. She lost her tail her first week here, but Courtney-Brittany found it, so we have it hanging on our bulletin board.

Yes, life is busy. We’ve been so swamped, what with the school activities, trips, after school work, my new job, and the house that we’ve only done the nasty four times this whole year (and Tom premature ejaculated for 2 of them).

We’re so thankful for our blessings and our good fortunes. Hope this letter finds you happy and in good health!
