Catching Up!

A lot has happened at the Welch household since the last update on the blog. Sabrina's Pal Basketball team the "Magic", took second place. They had a great team this year and did an exceptional job, not sure it was the girls or the great coaching they had by Courtney and Rory! Whitney had a solo for Choraliers this Christmas season. I get very emotional watching her and thinking we only have one year left with her at home. Where has the time gone? The kids had their piano recital (sorry Paula about taking pictures in the chapel). We had our ward party where the kids saw Santa for the first time this year. Landon opted to hold MaKenna rather than to sit on Santa's lap. We also went caroling with a group of people and the best shot I got was of the boys hookie-bobbing off of the trailer. Landon finished up AMS basketball. Thanks to Kari for taking some amazing pictures of him. We had a very relaxing Christmas at home with just the kids. We awoke to a phone call the day after Christmas by President Shumway, asking for a visit with Courtney and I. Courtney has been called as the 1st Counselor in the Bishopric and was ordained a High Priest. It has been very overwhelming and humbling. School is back in session and we are now getting ready for semester finals. Landon has started his Pal Basketball season on the "Mavericks", with his Dad and Jim as the coaches. Courtney has been busy plowing snow and getting sleep when he can. Really sorry for putting this all into one - will try to be better in 2009!

I guess Sabrina was really surprised they placed!

Matthew just adores Nash!

Oops! I didn't take a picture of Tara playing the piano!

Their names shall remain nameless! :)
