Todd, Doug, and James

Merry Christmas from Todd, Jennifer, James, and Daniel! We have had a great year! We hope you are doing well too! Here's our update:
James turned 19 in May and graduated from High School in June. He started St. Cloud Technical College in September and is training to become a Welder. He works at Home Depot and even got Employee of the Month recently! James is getting married to Jaimee Hansen next summer. They are excited about their future together!

Daniel, the Senior

    Todd continues to work at Remmele Engineering in Big Lake. He keeps busy at home with his many projects. Jennifer continues to teach Second Grade in Becker. She enjoys playing piano or working on her scrapbooks and blog during her free time.
    Todd and Jennifer enjoyed some vacations this year up in Two Harbors, Hibbing, Hastings, Thunder Bay, and Winnipeg. They are looking forward to a trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada this summer. They will celebrate their 4th year of marriage in May.
    Last Christmas Jennifer was looking forward to her upcoming March trip to Japan to visit her sister and nephews, but unfortunately, the Tsunami and Earthquake changed her plans! Patty, Drew, and Ben are now safe and happy back in the Chicago area. It was an extremely scary 24 hours while we waited to hear if they were okay. Patty's husband, Andy went to Japan and helped bring them home. We are all so very thankful that they are safe!
    Jennifer's sister Kimberly had a baby boy named Kit in July. He's a cutie pie. Jennifer's brother's baby (Anna) is nearly two and is adorable! Jennifer enjoyed babysitting for her one weekend while David and Julia attended a retreat.
     Jennifer's mom and dad are doing well and enjoying their four

grandchildren. Jennifer's dad keeps busy working for Allied Concert Associastion. Jennifer's mom keeps busy playing her violin for the orchestra, church, and community musical.
    Jennifer's Grandma Alber died this November. She was 94 years old. She was a very special grandma and will be very missed! To read more about Jennifer's Grandma, click on "My Special Grandma" on my blog.
    Todd's Dad and Mary Lou are doing well. Doug enjoyed his posh deer stand this fall and got a buck. Mary Lou is doing better after her fall last winter. Both enjoyed some trips in their fifth wheel this year.
     Some of you may remember that one of Jennifer's goals for 2011 was to get to sing a duet with Todd for church. Well, at the service at the park in August, her goal was accomplished. They sang "Less of Me" by Glen Campbell. It was such fun!
     May God bless you this year with LOVE, JOY, PEACE, and HOPE! Love, Jennifer and Todd
