Christmastime 2013
As
another year draws to a close, we wish you a happy Christmas! Please know that
our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are settled in Clovis, CA
and we love it here! We moved the last day of May and made it through the
shocking heat as we unpacked and settled in between swim days, spending time
with extended family nearby and trips to the lake. Micah loved picking apricots
and ollalaberries and making jam and all the kids loved the water park! They
enjoyed bare feet and popsicles. They are now enjoying their new schools. Albert
and I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii
this summer for a very late honeymoon and we loved it! I’m so blessed to be
married to Him.
Jacen
is a Senior at Buchanan
High School. He has
straight A grades and is enjoying working out at his uncle Chris’ house. He
recently ran a half marathon. He also enjoys playing the guitar with his extra
time. He is so ready to move on to the next stage in his life! He plans on
submitting papers for his church mission in early spring to leave after he
graduates. He received his Eagle Scout award last May and will have his court
of honor for it in December. It is a huge accomplishment! He still keeps in
contact with many of the Fijians he served. We are so proud of him.
Linnea
is in 8th grade and is a social butterfly! She loves spending time
with her new friends and attending parties. She helped establish a CTR club
(stands for “choose the right”) at school and loves it. She is a great student
and continues to play the violin beautifully. She is such a sweet helper around
the house and we are so blessed to have her in our family.
Gavin
is in 4th grade and stays busy with sports and scouts and school and
friends. He likes having friends in the neighborhood to play with. He loves
riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline, playing basketball and ping pong.
He is our soccer star! He is a high honor roll student and such a great big
brother to Micah.
Micah
is four and we are enjoying our days together before he starts kindergarten
next year. I love spending time with him. We enjoy reading and gardening and
taking walks. He is such a sweet boy. I love being a mother. I also love
teaching the 14 and 15 year old girls at church. I love to read, play my flute
and piano and lots of kind of activities such as tennis and weight lifting and
running.
Albert
has recently spent his time outside of work coaching Gavin’s soccer team,
working out, serving as the executive secretary at church and lots of
basketball games and walks with the family and our Newfoundland puppy, Henry.
We
are so grateful for the peace and love in our lives and in our family and know
that his peace only comes through our Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the true
spirit of Christmas. We hope this letter finds you healthy and happy. We love
you.
The Zuniga Family
Albert, Jaime, Jacen,
Linnea, Gavin and Micah
