Christmas Letter 2014


Dearest Family and Friends,

We are so grateful for your influence in our lives and for the love and kindness we have felt from you this Christmas season. Here is an update on the members of our family:

Phebe (10 months): Loves snuggles, eating avocados, watching her brother, and clapping. She's not crawling or walking yet, but can reach farther than seems possible. And she is almost sleeping through the night!

Isaac (3): Loves gears, gadgets, building, digging, demolishing, rummaging, and mess making. He starts conversations with strangers and is a big singer and storyteller. His favorite songs include "Big Green Tractor" (Jason Aldean) and "I'm On Top of the World" (Imagine Dragons). He is our curious and busy entertainer.

Sarah: Loves beautiful Houston "winter" weather, deep conversations with friends, quiet time to read, laughing with the kids, and going on dates with Brent. She is a volunteer editor at powerofmoms.com, has done a bit of freelance editing, and participated in a co-op preschool for Isaac this year.

Brent: Loves playing with the kids, going out to eat, and time to work on his ideas. After four great years at EY, Brent will leave the firm in January to start a business. We will stay in Houston to pursue this opportunity and are excited and hopeful about the future.

We have so much to be grateful for-- our lives, health, security, freedom, family, friends, and most of all, our Savior, Jesus Christ. We send our love and best wishes for the coming year!

Much love,

The Monsons
