Dear Parents,
Did you receive my fancy robo-phone message? Pretty cool, huh? Don't worry....I won't do those that much at all. This blog will be used mostly to convey all of the information you need.
Wow, what a vacation. My family had a memorable time together over a blissful 3-week break.
I can't thank you enough for your amazing generosity. We enjoyed toffee, ornaments, a gift basket, a gift certificate to Kaleidoscope, Sharks tickets/shirt, a lot of candy, and much more. You are all amazing! Initially, our break had a fantastic start when I had the rare opportunity to have my son's band, The Exceeders, along with the Rio Rockers, open up for my band at Don Quixote's. It was quite a proud moment to see Josiah truly rocking out. We went to some wonderful celebrations with amazing food, friends and fun. The Christmas craziness was a blast because Santa got us an air hockey table. ;>) Hilary and I enjoyed an amazing Sharks game. It was one of the best live games I have seen because the Sharks scored a record-setting two penalty shots and beat a really good team...The Capitals (who have the best player in hockey). We also went to a memorial for my wife's grandmother who passed away recently. It was great to hear stories, laugh, pray, cry together and sing songs. Josiah and I even caught a fish together. Our vacation ended with a spectacular trip to Disneyland for 5 days. My kids went on all of the big rides, which made it a lot of fun for me.
Enough about me....I look forward to hearing all about each of the students' vacations this week.
