Merry Christmas from the Melvilles!

The Melvilles send you a very Merry Christmas! We have had such a fun year with blogging, that we are going to continue with the tradition! Blogging has allowed us to keep in contact with our family and friends on a regular basis rather then in a once a year Christmas Card! We are truly thankful to have you in our lives and enjoy having you share in all of life's adventures! We treasure all of the comments that we receive from you and look forward to hearing from you in the year to come!

This card pretty much sums up our year...due March 9, 2011! OK, so we've had other exciting things happen too...

If you have been following the blog, you have had the opportunity to grow with us in parenting Ethan! He is such a joy and makes us laugh daily (to the point of tears sometimes!)

Grant continues to be very happy at Holt High School. In the true Grant Melville style, he continues to be involved in the students lives outside of the classroom. He coached both men and women pole vaulters this past Spring and was promoted to coaching the running-backs on the variety football position this year. Grant was also recognized along with his co-teacher as "a model" for co-teachers and was sent to some special workshops to bring the techniques back to the school. Grant had some success in the northern woods this past Thanksgiving! It has only been 4.5 years since venison has been in our freezer!

AmySue continues to balance work and motherhood. She truly loves both and finds them both to be very rewarding! She continues to be active in Junior League (a women's organization serving women and children in need) with a leadership role. AmySue was honored to be elected into the Junior League Board for the 2011-2012 year.

We continue to enjoy our camping experiences and involvement in our church!

We wish you a very beautiful Holiday Season!

Grant, AmySue, Ethan and Baby Melville #2.
