Dearest Family and Friends,
Another year has come and gone. At the Chantry house we are in the midst of our Christmas celebrations and are enjoying this beautiful season of joy. It has been a wonderful year and we reflect on it with gratitude. Here is a short recap.
Megan has turned five and started kindergarten. She still loves animals and makes us smile each and every day. Mike is seven and in second grade. He loves math and is always amazing us with his arithmetic skills. Nathan is nine, in fourth grade and continuing to be an enthusiastic and diligent Bear scout. Liz is ten and in fifth grade (we can’t believe it either) and is still as creative as ever. Our kids keep us laughing and keep us on our toes, but we are especially grateful for the love they have for each other and for all they do to help each other. It is wonderful to watch.
Jen spent the greater part of the year working with the ten-year-old Webelos scouts, but since September has been working with the 12 and 13 year old young women at church. It has been a bit of a change, but is really wonderful. She attended Wood Badge scout training this fall and had an incredible experience. Perhaps our most exciting news of the year is that Brian has started a new job. He was asked to become an Associate Registrar. It is a job with new responsibilities, new people and a new location on campus. It has been a great blessing and we are excited for his future there.
We are looking forward to an extra special Christmas day as we get to celebrate Christ’s birth on the Sabbath. We are grateful for the infinite love of our Heavenly Father who sent His Son to this earth to make it possible for us to return to Him someday.
May you all feel the peace this season brings.
Love, The Chantrys
