Dear Family and Friends.

We hope that this letter finds you all in good spirits and good health this joyous season. We feel like the year 2009 has gone by in the blink of an eye. We have been so blessed as our family has grown from three to four. Dylan Slater was born on 09/09/09. What a great day to be born! He is a really good baby, always smiling. He sleeps through the night (most nights) and rolls over. We love to hear his cooing sounds. We’re thankful for our healthy boy.

Kamryn started preschool this year. Her teacher loves her and recently told me at our parent teacher conference how well she is doing. She loves her friends and is really good at sharing. Kamryn is still a daddy’s girl. She loves doing crafts and is getting really good with her flashcards. Kami is always singing or talking, the only time it is quiet is when she takes a nap. She loves her brother, and now that he is more interactive she loves to make him smile. We’re so proud of our Kami Cakes for adjusting so well to having to share attention with Dylan.

Eric recently expanded his business of Ocular Prosthetics to Las Vegas. He travels there once a month to see patients in that area. His Sacramento Business is keeping him busy. He loves to take care of his patients. We’re so blessed because of Eric’s wonderful work ethic. This year he has surfed less than the year before. Eric ran the Deseret News Maration in Salt Lake City in July, he did it in a really great time. He loves having a little man around the house. He can’t wait to take him golfing and surfing.

I have been keeping busy playing mommy to my little ones and girlfriend to my husband. It has been quite the adjustment having two kids instead of only one. I’m lucky enough to have a helpful husband and parents who help me manage the sometimes crazy life. The crazy is going to be around for a while because we’re moving to Sacramento. We bought a house that fits our expanding family. We’re sad to leave all the friends we have made in Marysville but look forward to spending more time with eachother and less time on the road.

We’re so thankful to have friends and family like you who bless our lives. We hope that you have the most wonderful Christmas and may you remember our loving Savior this time of year.

Love,
Eric, Samantha, Kamryn and Dylan
