Christmas Card Carousel

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you enjoy our card!
It's hard to see the writing so I'm adding it here so you can read what we've done this year.

We have experienced a very challenging year that has allowed our faith and trust to be tested and affirmed. Rex was one of the many who were laid off from Bank of America in February and after numerous interviews is still looking for his next position. We are confident that he will not have to wait much longer. In the meantime, we are being provided for day by day and were able to spend the entire summer together visiting family and going to the pool.
Madeline, our 8 year old third grader, debuted her singing talent with a solo in our children’s choir Christmas musical. She is doing well in school and is looking forward to softball season in the spring.
Kenan, our adorable and active 2 year old, celebrated his first Forever Family anniversary with us and has finally started talking. He continues to bring so much joy to our lives and to all he meets.
Traci remains active as a room mom and volunteer at church. She had many singing engagements with her women’s ensemble, One Voice, and already has the calendar filling up for next year.
Please keep us in your prayers as we enter a new year and

Love – Rex, Traci, Madeline and Kenan
