Here is our Christmas Letter:
This year for the Wentz’s was an amazing one. We had NO major transitions! Yes folks, no new babies, new jobs, or new houses. However, plenty still happened! Luke started kindergarten and is now 6 years old. Logan started pre-school and is 4. Mikayla started to talk and soon will be 2.
Each of our kids has a personality of their own as you can full well imagine.
Luke enjoys telling stories, playing his own versions of Pokemon with friends, and has recently picked up reading. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up he responded, “An animal trainer.” He definitely loves animals, and this year saw the coming and going of several pets: a caterpillar named “Catty” on family vacation; a crawfish named “Loganchu” and a fish currently named “Trainer” who is still alive and well in the fish tank.
Logan has really enjoyed going to pre-school, where one of his favorite things is painting. He loves hanging out with dad and playing with his child-hood GI Joe collection. (maybe he’ll get some for Christmas!) He is a great errand runner and usually finds himself going to the store with mom or dad or helping out in some way. Logan wants to be a scientist and a dad when he grows up.
Mikayla is almost talking. She certainly seems to know what she is saying, but nobody else has any idea what she is talking about. Her sweet smile and personality make up for anything her speech lacks. She can put a smile on a grapefruit. Having two older brothers, she has also learned how to get what she wants when she wants it. When she grows up, we think Mikayla will pursue working with people in some way. Funnel Cakes?
This year we are so thankful for being closer to our family and being healthy. In May John started drinking Reliv, which has relieved his ankylosing spondylitis almost 100%. He is able to wrestle with the kids, sleep through the night and do everything normal again. This is an enormous burden on our family that has lifted! Thank you for your prayers. John also finished his classes in Hebrew and will begin writing his thesis for his masters degree this year in Historical Theology.
Shannon has enjoyed being able to help out at Luke’s school by being on the PTA. She organized the school’s book fair and did a fantastic job, increasing their sales by 46%! She also helps out immensely in Logan’s preschool, oversees the Sunday School at our Southwest Campus (which is going great!) and takes care of a family of 5 including a baby named Simon on Thursdays. Is there any limit?
Who knows what is in store in 08? Only God knows. And it is God that we thank and worship this Christmas. May the Peace of Christ fill your home this season.
Sincerely, John, Shannon, Luke, Logan and Mikayla Wentz.
