Happy Holidays 2009!

In an effort to go green this year, we decided to save a tree or two and do our letter online. We have so much to be thankful for and are grateful for all of you in our lives!




Bryan

Bryan has been a very busy boy this year. He is still doing traditional real estate. This year has been a good year (considering), but he is still trying to figure out how to generate consistent income instead of the roller coaster this last year has been. He bought and sold a couple of 4-plexes this year with investors and is working very hard on getting the last one sold. He has also teamed up with a couple of partners to source and move Bulk REO properties. He spends his evenings working, in his free time he works, and for fun you can generally find him working. But he does manage to take most Sundays off to spend with his family.


Jenna

Jenna just finished up her first semester at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She is going to school for Interior Architecture and Design and is truly blessed to have found a fully accredited online degree program so she can stay home with her babies. It has kept her very busy with many really, really, really late nights. Some mornings she high-fives Bryan as he is getting up to start his day and she is just going to bed. Another 3 1/2 to 4 years to go! She is still a Domestic Goddess, and loves being home with her babies. In her free time she has been running an ebay t-shirt business, being Conlans Class-Mom and is getting ready to put up her handmade art (H.ART) cards on etsy.com. Never a dull moment for this mama!


Conlan (5 years)

Conlan has had a big year! He started kindergarten in August, and although he did not want to go at first (see an earlier post about his first day of school), he loves it now. Con is doing really well and has adjusted just fine. He can read now, amazing! Mom gets to be the room mom for his class and also gets to go in and help out once a week too! His teacher is absolutely wonderful and we feel very lucky that Con was chosen for her class. He has made some sweet new friends and he will be turning 6 in a few months. He is still a hockey fanatic and enjoys playing Star Wars, roller blading, riding his bike and being chased by girls on the playground. Cons imagination and storytelling skills are excellent. Sometimes we have a hard time knowing truth from fiction and he has such a great sense of humor now that we end up doing a lot of laughing together.

Aislinn ( 11 months)

Our little Aisy joined our family this year and has been such a blessing and joy in our lives! She turns one next month, where has the year gone. Aisy is walking along everything, but chickens out when it comes to letting go. She is more than ready to walk, but it is all about her own timing. So we stand by patiently waiting! Her pebbles talk and imitations of brother are hysterical. Both Con and Aisy adore each other and they get along really well considering the age span. Our little firecracker is into everything and loves to screech at the top of her lungs. Daddy thinks she is showing her natural musical abilities... Mommy thinks she is just acting her age.

We hope all of you enjoy your holiday season no matter where you are. Love those around you, laugh often and live like there is no tomorrow! May you have a beautiful 2010!

Love and hugs, Bryan, Jenna, Conlan and Aislinn
