Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!




Dear Friends and Family,

It is with great happiness that we send out this Christmas "Blog" Card to you! We hope that this finds you and your's healthy and happy.

It's been a crazy year for this Knotts' family: In February we welcomed William Jackson into our family. He is truly our pride and joy. He's gone from little newborn to extremely impressive smasher in the last 10 months. He's currently working on walking, and we've got bets placed as to when he'll get that first step in. He says "mama" and "dada" and signs "more banana" all the time now. We're fully recovered from the shock of adding a little one to our lives, and happily plugging away at parenthood. It definitely the biggest adventure we've ever had.

After a year of searching for the right job, Michael is happily installed at the GSA. He walks to work (in Orange County no less), and Will and I meet him for lunch at picnic tables outside his office. I was laughing with him today that it's not such a bad life eating lunch outside in December with his family! Government work seems to be where its at!

I'm still writing articles every now and again, and happily raising William. It's been quite a good life here in Aliso Viejo: Mike and I run on the beach that is ten minutes from our house, I can walk to the grocery store and to WalMart or Target if we need something, and we've got good friends, a great church and more friends on their way here! We've had a bunch of visitors this year, and enjoyed every minute with them: we hope you'll consider a trip down to Southern California soon!

Much love,

The Knotts'
Michael, Shannon and William

Sounds like you have a wonderful life. I won't be long. We'll be running on the beach and eating outside in the winter too!
