I caught my mom in the middle of finally admitting that there weren't any good trees to be had. Unfortunately Joe just had to cut something down so we ended up with the most...Charlie Brown Tree you can imagine. It was so bad that my mom even blogged about it...blogged about how we tried to make the best of it, decorated it and sang as we did it...and then undecorated it and turned it into firewood and bought one from Home Depot. She's got some pictures on her blog that are pretty good, you should take a look! www.momza.blogspot.com
Hello Dear Loved Ones!
How are you? We hope you and your families are doing well and being blessed with all that you need and more. If your lives have been as busy as ours I hope you’ve at least been busy with good things.
We hope you’ll forgive us for not keeping in touch better but after this letter you’ll know why.
In May, Brad finished his junior year of college, had knee surgery and we moved to Texas all within two weeks. His school year ended with a GPA of 4.0, he recovered very quickly from the surgery and Texas was…well I wrote a few really good blog posts about that experience. I don’t handle humidity and big bugs very well. We moved to Baytown, right outside of Houston, for an internship with Chevron Phillips Chemical. Brad really enjoyed the internship and his inner geek really came out and shined. He impressed everyone he worked with so much that we’ll be returning to Baytown, Texas June 2012 for a permanent position as a Chemical Engineer. We’re very excited to have a paycheck even if we do have to deal with the roaches and being so far from family. Please feel free to visit us anytime, folks!
While in Texas we also added a new member of our family. Isaac Daniel Price was born on August 24th, making Garrett a big brother. We gave birth to our 11lb 1oz 22inch boy four days before we moved back to Colorado so Brad could return to school. Brad actually missed the first week of his senior year.
As you read, somehow Brad has managed to excel in his studies, despite his loud and demanding family responsibilities as well as his calling as the Elders Quorum President and the CSM varsity 197lb wrestler. No…he’s not busy at all. Want to know how he does it? Yeah, me too.
While Brad is busy with all that, Dani is home taking care of the boys. That’s right, we’re a family of FOUR now, “boyS” was plural. As I said we just had Isaac in August and Garrett just turned two last week on December 2nd. Isaac is very strong and very big for his age. He has a smile that lights up the room and thankfully it comes out easily and often. He’s very content and happy and laughs more than he cries. Garrett keeps us on our toes with his opinionated, independent and stubborn self! He loves Disney’s Cars, Elmo, rough-housing, Cheese, Sugar in any form, Brad, running, helping, games, and nursery. He actually just moved into a toddler bed that he really likes. Garrett sleeps in a blue racecar, in a Lightning McQueen sleeping bag under a Disney’s Cars tent that fits perfectly over his bed and he loves it! You can actually read all about his adventures on our family blog: bdgpriceisright.blogspot.com. Danielle also keeps busy with her calling in the stake Relief Society presidency and finding opportunities to serve those around her.
Please let us know how you and your loved ones are doing! We’d love to hear from you! We’re so thankful for our bond with you and for all that you do and have done for us. You are proof of Heavenly Father’s love and remind us of our many other blessings. We’re thankful for this time of year that reminds us of our greatest blessing, Jesus Christ and his gospel. He is our Prince of Peace, our Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Mediator, Counselor, our Brother, our Savior, the great I AM. We’re so grateful for his birth, life and sacrifice. Merry Christmas and remember you are loved!
Love,
Brad, Danielle, Garrett and Isaac
