Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!





Well our family has made it through our first complete year in Virginia! 2011 has been one of the “challenging” years we will remember in our future. But because we pushed forward together as a family, we persevered and vectored in many of our obstacles.


This last year we had many ups and downs as to Michael’s blood sugar. His diagnosis is still uncertain and even though we know he can be glucose intolerant, doctors say it is a matter of time to see what his pancreas is doing. He remains very healthy and athletic and still has his Michael’s Type A personality and we know whatever happens in the future we can and will face it as a family!

Timothy entered 7th grade and has done wonderfully! He produced a multi-award winning video for his My Life club at school! He has been invited to join a travel baseball team with his hopes of using his catching and pitching abilities to play for JV next year and to eventually enter into college. His grades were great this year and we are so proud of him!


Jen continues to enjoy working for Dr. Weisman! She has made some real good friends with her co-workers, as she still misses her friends from California! She has made friends through JDRF and has reconnected with many of her friends here in Virginia.


John is at Liberty Medical and has made many good friends! He still misses everyone at Hoffman, Vance and Worthington! And this year he lost someone he really looked up to as a person, a man and financial genius, Richard Hambleton. “He was my EF Huton, I listened to every word he said” John. John continues to do his photography with a new perspective.


If you were invited to view our year end message, then you have had shared at one time some special facet of our life… and always will. Some of us are in contact every day, some of us by an occasional phone call and some simply through this wonderful invention called FaceBook. But no matter who you are we wish you and yours a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
