Kelly and Mary Claire both had musical firsts in December. Mary Claire performed in her first piano recital along with her seasoned sister. Kelly performed in her first orchestra concert, playing violin. Mary Claire was “recruited” to play on a Genesis soccer team starting next year. Both are bringing home lots of “A”s from school.

Highlights for Danny were getting his drivers license and a job at Bruster’s icecream parlor (to help pay for insurance.) He also had fun during the fall baseball season where he got to pitch, catch, field, steal, and hit a couple out of the park. He is looking forward to trying out for varsity baseball in February. A low-light was having all four wisdom teeth removed at Thanksgiving.

Nicole and Jeb are going on a trip to Jamaica with 14 others from St. John Neumann (see her report.) Kathy and Danny plan on making the same trip in 2005. Kathy has been very busy between holiday preparations and the work she does for her survey company. She enjoyed her 40th birthday celebration more than you would think, and has really enjoyed her surprise present from Jeb: new bedroom furniture.

Jeb survived a round of consolidation at Harland and landed in the marketing department as Director of Web Channels (how we sell stuff over the internet.) He also helped land a new large account, Costco. For a great deal on checks, join Costco!
