Christmas Letter 2014

Dear friends and family,

Merry Christmas to you all!  We wish we were all in the same area to celebrate together!  Know that we think of you often and appreciate that you are a part of our lives.  What a year 2014 has been.

We started out the year in snowy Logan.  The big highlight was the birth of Amy Lois.  We are so happy that she is a part of our family.  We enjoyed attending Summerfest and visiting the farmers markets.  In July, a new job offer prompted us to pack up once again and return to the East coast. We moved to a suburb of Washington DC and bought our first real home, with a yard and everything.   We’ve spent the past months unpacking and working on the house.  We have especially liked being out on our deck.  Heber has been cooking up delicious meats out there on the new smoker. He’s also had to mow a lawn regularly for the first time since being a teenager.

Heber’s new job is in digital forensics supporting law enforcement. He helps recover data from cell phones that the bad guys have “accidently” hit with a sledge hammer once or twice. It is creative and challenging engineering, but the best part is that Heber has only spent 45 minutes in meetings since he started!

Gentri has spent the last year hanging out with Amy and Leo.  They filled their days with playgroups, friends and making their new house a home.  We set up a torch and glass studio in our home (so exciting!) this year and she has been hard at work creating glass knobs and Christmas ornaments. She is serving with the 8-9 year old girls in the ward and enjoyed getting to know them.

Amy was born in January and it has been a joyful year watching her learn.  She is right on the verge of walking and is a great eater!  She has a little bit of red hair and bright blue eyes.  Amy loves her mom and chewing on shoes.  She is a determined little one and it is always a delight to hear her play and giggle with her older brother.

Our happy little Leo turned three in November.  He still loves to read stories and run around outside.  He just recently mastered his scooter and it’s been fun to watch him ride. He likes to go “really, really fast!”   He especially loved our music class and would ask if we were going there any time we left the house.

It has been a year filled with so many changes but we are happy to be settling into our new life.  We have been so blessed to have good people in our life.  We wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons!

With Love,  Heber, Gentri, Leo and Amy Green
