Christmas Letter 2001

The Pace Family - 2001

This year has been a busy year for our family.  Jim is still working for Credit Data.  His company is now called Merchants Information Solutions.  This past year, he celebrated his ten year anniversary  with them.  His second job is keeping our two vehicles drive-able.  It has become a hobby of his.  Tami keeps very busy transporting our kids to school, sport practices, doctor appointments, etc.  She enjoys working on scrapbooks and taking long, hot bubble baths.  Josh is 5 years old and started kindergarten this year.  He attends Porter Elementary in the afternoon.  He really likes school.  He especially likes going to the school library, P.E., computer lab, and music.  He is learning a lot in school.  Josh just finished playing soccer in the Fall.  He played really hard and sings "I am a Champion" at home.  In January, Josh is going to play T-Ball.  Josh loves to write letters and draw pictures for his friends and cousins.  Danielle is 3 years old.  She started preschool last Fall.  She goes to school with her cousin.  They are inseparable.  She loves to play with her brother and sister.  She loves to color and play Barbies.  She loves to dance around the house, especially to the Nutcracker music.  Angela will turn 2 at the end of February.  Her birthday is on leap day, so we can celebrate Feb. 28th or March 1st.  This past year, Angela had eye surgery and many tests. Her surgery was successful and tests came back normal.  Angela has been diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay and is receiving services through the Early Intervention program in Arizona.  She has four wonderful therapists who say she making great progress.  She is a sweet little girl who has captured the hearts of her parents and siblings.  

This year has been very challenging, and we want to say thank you to our family and friends.  We are so grateful to have such great support.  We love you and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Santa

Manny saw Santa earlier in the month.  He had a great time meeting with him and got his picture taken with him.  Today, Manny and Angela wrote letters to Santa and dropped them off in a special mailbox.  These letters will be taken to the North Pole where Santa will get them.  Manny got the cutest ice cream cone after he dropped his letter off.  We had a great afternoon and we are getting ready for Christmas.
