Family Christmas Newsletter

Merry Christmas 2007 to Friends and Family

I can’t believe another year has already flown by. As always, this annual newsletter helps me to sit back and reflect on our year. This one had its sorrows, but it has been full of joy too.

We started out the year with loads of family fun. I found Mike a Wii just after Christmas and we’ve been enjoying family games of bowling and tennis ever since. We enjoy it because the girls can play and sometimes win!

The girls continue to grow into beautiful little ladies becoming more and more independent as the days go by. My roll as mommy is starting to shift and I have a little more free time.

Another year has gone by without incident for Kelby. In fact she just had her port removed; that was the last evidence of the cancer she’s gone through. She is enjoying the third grade, but her favorite thing to do is draw. She doodles on every piece of paper (which can get her in to trouble in the classroom.)

Tegan is in school all day now for first grade. She loves school and is reading like a pro already. It doesn’t take any work at all to get her to do her required reading for homework.

Anika stays home with me and will for another whole year after this. She turns four on the 28th of this month. Luckily she gets to have Gramma and Grampa Morrow from Arizona here on her birthday this year!

Michael and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in August. Time flies doesn’t it? We went to Disneyland by ourselves to celebrate just like for our honeymoon. While we had a great time, we realized it wasn’t quite the same now that we’ve taken kids there. Next time we’ll have to try a tropical vacation.

Michael got a new camera in February and has been taking gallery-worthy shots since. It has been a fun hobby for the whole family as we venture out on adventures together just so he can get some good photos.

I have taken on the Ladies’ Ministry at our church. Really, I’m just trying to get one started. I’ve been working hard on it since February or so. It has been a great experience and opportunity to connect with more ladies. I’m working to keep it all low-stress by purposefully prioritizing. My family comes first!

I hope and pray that you all are doing well this season. As always you can check in at www.perpetuallywright.com to see what we doing throughout the year.

God bless you all,

Shawna, Michael, Kelby, Tegan and Anika Wright
