Welcome
to MooreFamilyWeb.com!
May God’s love surround you in this 2010
Christmas season.
- And may
Christ’s love and peace
- be with
us all.
- OH! It is Christmas time … a time
for family and friends … a time for rejoicing …
and a time to celebrate Jesus’ birth.
But…The chances of finishing up this
letter for a before Christmas letter seem slim. OH! But… We made it!
OH! This year we
enjoyed a trip to Bonaire (Just Cassie) and a plane-and
train trip to Colorado (Kirk, Andrew, Matthew, and
Matthew’s girlfrend, Jenny – We met Marianne
out there!) We rode horses and had a great time at Peaceful Valley Ranch and soaking in the mountain air.
But…The planned “relaxing”
train ride home was delayed by about 12 hours. Ugh.
OH! ! Marianne spent
another summer as a children’s counselor at Peaceful
Valley Ranch in Colorado. She has always loved Colorado.
. . so she moved there! Marianne’s living in Greeley,
CO, working, and
establishing residency to finish up her college degree in
Colorado. She loves the independence and the Colorado
life. She’s made a few new friends and is a
co-director of the Children’s Christmas program at
her church before coming back to Illinois for the
holidays.
But…Our grown-up daughter is 1000 miles
away from us!
OH! Matthew is 18 and a senior in High School.
The rock band he’s the lead singer in (Results May Vary & the LMN
Orchestra) won the
Illinois Battle of the Bands this summer and then
recorded a new EP that’s available in the digital music stores. As much as he can, he’s also been
working at a new sandwich shop in town. And he’s
planning to commercial music/music business next year in
college. The showchoir and college scholarship audition season
gears up right after the new year begins.
But… No time for
breathing in the next several months.
OH! 8th Grader Andrew is 13 years old and still
loves playing piano. He also just provided beat-box
percussion on a crowd-favorite song, Reindeer Rap, at the school’s holiday
concert. He’s working to form an a cappella group
with some friends. He’s already picked their first
song! Andrew continues to also be the “sporty” kid in the family, spending several
summertime hours on his skateboards and BMX bikes. I
think he’s also the one in the family who spends the
most time texting!
But…Did we mention that he’s 13?
‘Nuff said.
OH! Cassie continues as full-time faculty in
the Interpreter Training Program at Waubonsee Community College. She’s been on trips to
Bonaire, (for fun), St Louis, and Florida (for work) this
year and also has found a little time to make enough
fused glass jewelry to stock her new cabinet at the Little Red Schoolhouse antique shop in Warrenville. Cassie also
continues to freelance as an interpreter for the deaf.
But…This time of year, in addition to
getting ready for Christmas, she’s grading, grading,
grading, grading ... and grading.
OH! Kirk is finishing up his fourth year as
Pastor of Union Congregational United Church of Christ
in Somonauk. He
also continues to write for Faith Practices and for Interlinc. He recently released a Christmas record, “Like a Caroler at the Door.” Nothing fancy – just Kirk, a
guitar, and some classic Christmas songs. It sounds just
like it would if you heard him as a caroler at the door!
It’s available in the digital music stores, too!
However… The Christmas
season is almost over (it does really go until Epiphany) But… you can still get the record!
- LOVE
. . . JOY . . . PEACE . . . HOPE
