Merry Christmas

The Koehl's 2009

Only one life will soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.

Ryan's Report - I have enjoyed the simple blessings of family, work, and my relationship with Christ this year. I continue to work in the State's Attorney's Office and have been challenged with some interesting cases. Watching Jadyn and Andru grow and participate in church activities has been a blessing. The best part of my year has been to enjoy more of Jesus and find my satisfaction in Him.

Michelle's Matters - God has continued to be good to us again this year! I am still blessed with the ability to be able to work part time, and still be home with the kids for most of the day. In addition, I have taken up running again, which makes for a "happier mommy." We have been able to do a little bit of traveling to see friends and family, with trips to Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and soon to Kansas. And we are looking forward to the blessings that God has in store for us this next year.

Jadyn's Journey - This year I started going to school. Mommy has a preschool at her work, so I get to go to school with her everyday! There, we go on field trips, paint pictures, and I'm learning to write letters. My favorite part of every week is going to Awana where I learn about God and say many memory verses (which I'm really good at!).

Andru's Account - I've grown a lot the last year! I'm able to walk, run, dance, and I love playing with my friend Ian. I'm learning to talk, and my favorite words are "thank you." I also love following my big sister around! I'm excited about this next year!
