Kettles Family 2012
The last 5 years our family has been very quiet in terms of
interacting with friends and family. Emotionally,
financially, spiritually, physically we have sort of been in a black hole while
I’ve been in school getting a PhD. We’ve
been able to receive outside interaction but we really weren’t in a position to
reach back out effectively because of the nature of the situation.
Fortunately we seem to have survived and this Fall I
accepted a position at the University of Central Oklahoma. How we ended up here
is a long story that I won’t go into but so far I am absolutely thrilled to be
here. I currently teach a required
course for all business students that covers how technology is used in
business.
Danielle took a position at a local elementary school where
she assists in the special needs classes. It is a rewarding job but requires a
lot of physical exertion.
Gabriella is 12 and goes to middle school. She plays the piano and the violin and has
participated in several concerts this year.
She is a pretty girl but is really only into video games.
Katie is almost 11 and is completing her last year of
elementary school. It has been a quiet
semester for her. She is well-liked at
school by teachers and students but is very quiet and never gets into any
trouble.
McKay (6) is doing fairly well in school. He loves being around other kids and
playing. He loves being the center of
attention, such as when he told the whole class recently that he forgot to wear
underwear to school. Sadly he hasn’t had
any kids come over to play since we have moved here and he desperately wants to
find some friends to play with outside of school hours.
We hope that this next year brings lots of blessings to each
of you and we want you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
Love,
The Kettles
