Happy Holidays! We hope this letter finds you happy and healthy and enjoying the holiday season. Sophia arrived just in time for Thanksgiving and we’re enjoying every minute getting to know her. Her name is Sophia because after 2 days with no name, it seemed to fit her just right and Hope after the street that Elle grew up on J

2008 has been full of more life changes. We took a little vacation to San Diego over spring break and stayed at our wedding spot. We ordered round 2 of our wedding cake (still our favorite cake 3 years later!). In June Neil did his first 12 hour adventure race with friends in Durango, Colorado. It was a fun weekend with family and friends! We rented our city condo and with no home to move into, Neil’s parents graciously hosted us for 6 weeks (thank you!). In July we moved 30 miles west of Chicago into our first house. We are enjoying making it into a home and the renovations are coming along slowly but we’re almost done with the upstairs bedrooms & bathrooms. The kitchen work starts in January! Elle just got promoted at work and will return to Google mid-April and will be back to teaching yoga twice a week soon.

Sending you hugs and holiday cheer!

Best wishes for a happy 2009!
