Dear Family and Friends,
Early in 2021, we heard that it was 2020-won, as we were still living with the effects of the Covid-19 global pandemic. We have had our challenges, but we've also had many blessings. Here are a few highlights from our family:
Leonard is enjoying his new position at work, back at the UK and Ireland desk.
Jennifer is enjoying hiking each week with dear friends in the beautiful Gatineau Park in Quebec.
Kaleb is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints speaking Portuguese in Toronto, Canada. He is waiting for his visa to Mozambique, where he was originally called to serve.
Noé is studying and playing at her beautiful school, BYU-Hawaii. She's majoring in Hospitality and Tourism Management, and minoring in Psychology, and the Hawaiian language.
Gavin has started high school (grade 9) and seminary. His favorite subject is geography and he loves playing Mario Galaxy and reading many books in the fantasy genre.
Teague is still enjoying middle school (grade 7). He enjoys math, phys ed, running fast, and creating characters for Papa Louie and many other games.
Hiram is in grade 4 and enjoys gym and recess the most at school. He also enjoys creating his own characters, but he prefers making Pokemon ones.
Ali is in 2nd grade and likes reading and using the play-structure at school. At home she is always drawing and coloring. She is our artist in residence.
Macy is blossoming in her preschool program at the Children's Hospital. She's a little bit of spunk and a whole lot of pixie dust. She truly brings magic to our family.
We also heard that 2022 is supposed to be 2020-too. However, we have several hopes and dreams we anticipate for next year. How has your year been? What are your hopes and dreams for next year? Please send us a note and let us know! With all of our hearts we wish you a joyous Christmas season and wonderful new year!
Love,
The Reil family
Leonard, Jennifer, Kaleb, Noé, Gavin, Teague, Hiram, Ali, and Macy
