Merry Christmas!

Seasons greetings everyone! Just like last year, we're attempting to save some paper (and some time) by eliminating Christmas cards and simply sending our well-wishes through cyberspace instead!

What are we up to? Well, this summer we moved from Fort Leavenworth, KS to Walkersville, MD and purchased our first home! We have settled in nicely and have finally finished with all of the painting and decorating. We love our new neighborhood and have made some really great friends.

Grace is in Kindergarten this year and she absolutely loves it. She is doing really well with reading and writing; we're very proud of her. Grace's favorite thing to do when she's home is play "teacher"...and what a bossy teacher she is!

Evie just turned 3 years old last month and boy is she a thinker! It's so amusing to hear the things that come out of her mouth! Recently she has decided she would rather wear diapers than use the potty, which has been very discouraging, but we're hoping she'll change her mind soon and become "a big girl".

Genna is now 15 months old and is walking and climbing all over the house. She has amazing little conversations of gibberish with herself and her sisters. She is doing really well with communicating by using signs, gestures and words.

Peter just got back from a 10 day trip to Korea and is still a little foggy from jet lag. He has been working at Fort Detrick with the 6th MLMC as the SPO S3 (lots of gibberish I know, but that's the Army for ya!) Over the next few months he'll be participating in training exercises in Korea and here in Maryland.

I have been working hard at making this house a home while caring for the girls and daddy too! If time allows I'd like to be a volunteer at our local animal shelter. I plan on making some doggie beds to donate and would like to be part of the foster program as well. I have also been working with local charities to support families in need this holiday season.

Well, that's it from us....here's hoping that this note finds everyone in good health and good spirits! We pray that you will all have a blessed holiday and very happy new year.

God Bless!
Love,
The Ramos Family
Peter, Michelle, Grace, Evie and Genna
