Christmas 2006
Hello all, I hope this tool will help us keep in touch better. I feel really bad for having lost touch with folks near and dear to me. It has been a busy year for us. We moved to the Pacific NW in August of 2005. I am now the Pastor of First Christian Church in Sumner, WA. The new ministry post has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career. I seek and find the Lord's presence in what I'm doing here and it has been a truly wonderful experience. Little Alexandra is not so little anymore. She's 2 years and 5 months. She's wearing 2T clothes and speaking full sentences. She loves the Teletubbies which is only slightly troubling to me =). She is definitely developing independence and has her "moments" but mostly she is a great joy and a lovely child. I feel very blessed as a mother. We will be having my folks out for Christmas this year and we are definitely looking forward to it. They have not yet seen our new "old" house that we bought back in September. So yes...we moved in August 2005 and then again in September 2006. We love our 1941 craftsman-style home. It is not even a mile from church and in the heart of Sumner which a smallish town with a great sense of community. Last night we heard a fire truck siren going on and off somewhere nearby and a neighbor called to let us know that that was Santa coming down the street. So we took Alexandra out and there was one fire truck, a sled with Santa, two police cars and an ambulance. They were handing out candy canes and toys. It was quite a parade and Alexandra loved it.

Hi there, Rochelle & John! I just received your card today, and visited your blog. My first time to blog - cool! I've thought of you often, and it's good to hear that you're both happy with your move. We're doing well. Sara is in 6th grade - middle school. Lots of changes going on there. She looks like a young lady, and luckily for us, acts like one as well. We just went to see "The Holiday" together today. Great flick! Blake is a sophomore, and is a great student and avid lacrosse player. He's 6 feet tall and about 180#. He's still my baby and gets lots of hugs and kisses whether he wants them or not. Bob is keeping busy with his apartments and duplexes. He had a nasty tenant issue last month that he's very glad to be rid of. Worst in 10 years he's been in the business. I'm still selling Premier Designs Jewelry, and loving it. I have 20 women on my team, and I so enjoy supporting their success. I'm still doing business consulting on a very part-time basis. At church, I'm really active in The Way service. We've got a nice core group of new members, and growing slowly but surely. I love the service...and really enjoy Jennie Churchman. Would love to hear more about your ministerial post out there! Remember my e-mail is brettmorell@sbcglobal.net. Merry Christmas to the Richards family from the Morell family!! Love, Brett
