Alex started his second year of medical school at the
University of Arizona where he is excelling in his school work and is loving
every second of it despite the long study nights before a big test. He does a
fantastic job at balancing being both a student and a father. Outside of
fatherhood and school work, he has enjoyed playing intramural football, going
to the gym, riding bikes with the family, and serving in our church. He is
scheduled to take his first board exam this coming year. Late nights, many
prayers, and lots of cinnamon gummy bears up ahead!
I have had a few late nights myself, whether it be up with
the kids, blogging, or editing pictures. Photography and writing are a big part
of my life outside of my family. I plan on starting school at the U of A next
semester and I’m extremely nervous with how I’m going to keep myself from
drowning in diapers and homework. But somehow I’ll manage. My excitement for
going back to school outweighs my hesitations. Wish me luck!
Lucy (4) started preschool this year, and my goodness does
she ever love it! When she gets home, she can’t stop talking about what she did
that day and often wants to play “school”. She insists on playing the part of
teacher. We are amazed at her impeccable memory and her ability to learn. She
fills our home with songs, stories, and an enthusiasm for all things big and
little. She is constantly being reminded to lower her voice level through her
frequent bursts of excitement! She is the best big sister anyone could ask for
and is always eager to help mom.
Todd (2) is a little charmer and can’t help but grab the
attention of the sweet old ladies at the grocery store. He loves to snuggle,
and although his insistent begging to be snuggled drives me nuts at times, I
secretly love it and relish it, because I know he’ll one day be too cool for
his parents. He is working on his speaking abilities and is drastically
improving on a daily basis. He has no shortage of creativity as he is
constantly building and assembling things into toddler masterpieces! And I’m
not talking about the crayon on the doors, walls and floor. :) He loves robots and trains, and Buzz
Lightyear is still a favorite.
Anna (8 months) joined our family in April. She is such a
breath of fresh air and mellows us crazies down. She greets everyone with an
open mouth smile and constantly gets comments about her big, wide eyes. Her
adorable little ringlets above her ears are enough to kill you with cuteness!
She is on the verge of crawling as well as on the verge of joining her siblings
in making many messes.
We hope that you and your family have found much joy this past
year, and we wish you the best in the year to come! We are grateful for our
Savior, His birth, sacrifice, and love on behalf of us all.
Merry Christmas!
Love, The Geyer
Family
