What a wonderful year!

Christmas & New Years Greetings to everyone! We are so thankful for all of our friends and family. You have blessed us richly with your prayers, love and friendship. God has been so good to us. This time last year, we were still hurting as we anticipated if we would be matched with a baby and little brother. God not only gave us this child, but THE child He had for us, Christian Grant! We are amazed at how our family has changed and grown. We are in love with our new home here in Hallsville and are thrilled with many sweet neighbors and awesome friends for the boys. Tony still enjoys working at Lowes for his 19th year. He will be facilitating a mens Bible study in January by Tony Dungy. We pray many mens lives will be changed by this study. Donnis continues to enjoy teaching Kindermusik in Marshall and Longview, singing in the church choir and being a very busy mom! Jacob & Jonah are halfway through their first year in the Hallsville ISD and absolutely LOVE it! Jacob, now 13, is 1st chair percussionist in the 8th grade band, made 1st chair Region Honor Band, and LOVES playing baseball and hanging out with friends, including his best-bud and cousin Coby. Jonah is loving 5th grade and is making straight A's! He also loves baseball, playing the piano and playing with friends at school and in our awesome neighborhood. Li'l Grant is now 9 months old, wearing 12-18 mo. clothing we might add, and is into EVERYTHING! He is crawling all over the place, pulling up on anything he can, and loves to "repeat" anything we say. :o) He enjoys Kindermusik classes with mommy, going to Nona B's with DahDah and playing with his brothers. He is an incredible JOY...more than we could have ever dreamed. We pray you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed New Year!

Love,
Anthony, Donnis, Jacob, Jonah and Grant
