Thanksgiving with the Bakers

Christmas Letter 2011

2011 has been a wonderful year for us. 

Rich is down to the last few months of medical school and is interviewing all over the country for residency spots.  He is going into radiation oncology, and we will find out March 15, 2012 where we will be spending the next five years, so stay tuned.  He is the Sunday School president of our ward, and is the best husband and father you can find.

Lynnae is anxiously anticipating the birth of our 4^th child, due March 20^th.  Being pregnant, the wife of a medical student, and looking after our other three children pretty much takes up all of her time.  But, she continues to enjoy blogging about, photographing, and scrapbooking all of the activities we do each year. 

Aiden is now 7 and is in first grade.  He excels in reading and math, and is taking piano lessons.  He enjoys any sport that requires aiming (shooting, archery, golf, etc).  He is bright, enthusiastic, and as sweet as can be.  He is also a very patient and helpful older brother to his younger siblings.

Mackenzie is 4 and is so much fun to be around.  She is enthusiastic about everything around her.  She is doing Waterford’s on-line preschool program and is busy getting ready for kindergarten in the fall. 

Connor is almost 2.  He is very curious about the world around him and enjoys exploring whenever he gets the chance.  His adorable smile wins him lots of attention.

We are so grateful for the wonderful blessings in our lives and hope the holiday season finds you well and happy. Stay tuned for the 2011 scrapbook featuring the highlights of the last year.
