Happy
Holidays 2013
We hope this letter finds you well!
This has been a huge year for our family with lots and lots of changes. We have
been so blessed to have amazing support and love from our family and friends.
We are in crazy mode right now, but wanted to share a little bit about what is
going on with our family.
Brinley: She is five years old and has
grown up so much this year! She learned how to ride her bike with no training
wheels back in March. She graduated preschool in May and then started all day
kindergarten in August. She LOVES school and is learning to read very well. She
also enjoys math and writing. She constantly asks us to give her math problems
to solve and loves writing stories and making pictures to go along with them. She
has non stop energy and loves doing anything outside. She is very thoughtful
and a wonderful friend.
Julianne: She is three going on
thirteen. You will never find this girl without my shoes (especially high
heels) on, a purse and some other kind of dress or scarf. She loves anything
girly and “grown up.” She started preschool and loves it! She also has this
crazy obsession of playing the guitar and volleyball. We have no idea where
this came from, but she pretends to do these things all the time! She is so
sweet and is willing to do anything that is asked of her.
McKay: Baby #3! He was born on May 29th.
Everything about his birth was perfect! I was able to do a VBAC, which was sooo
much easier for me than my previous c-section. He is an angel! We are so lucky
to have him in our family. He is 6 months now and the girls still act like
Christmas morning every time he wakes up. He loves to play with toys and he
looks just like his daddy!
Greg: Lots of things going on with
him! He is going to be graduating from his ortho residency on the 14th.
We are beyond excited about this. He was also able to find a good first job in Southern California . We are in the process of moving to
Eastvale and he will work out of two offices in the surrounding areas. He was very
involved with the young men in our ward this year, going to activities and
camp outs. He is a wonderful husband and father!
Me: Staying very busy! I was so
grateful that I recovered so quickly from delivering McKay. Honestly it was
amazing. I only took one pain pill the day of, and after that nothing. I felt
fine. It was a good thing because adding #3 made things a lot crazier. Good crazy though. I feel like I adjusted to
three a lot faster than adjusting to two. I just got released from being the
primary chorister (again) in our ward. I love that calling. Now I’m just trying
to get ready for our big move and establishing our new home.
We are anxious to start our new life
in California St Louis Disneyland .)
Reflecting on our past year, I can’t
believe how greatly we've been blessed. We've felt the Lords influence often as
we have had to make major decisions and so thankful for His love toward us. We
look forward to the New Year and all the opportunity’s that await us.
With Love,
The Carr Family:
Greg, Jenna, Brinley Ruth, Julianne Carole, and McKay Michael
