Twitchell Family Newsletter 2007

Wow, I can't believe it's December! This year our family has experienced a lot of change with the new addition of Andrew Glenn Twitchell to our family and with moving to Rocklin, California(near Sacramento).






Andrew: Our newest member, was born on March 29th, 2007! He is such a sweet, happy and calm boy. Everyone at church says they haven't seen him without a smile! His big accomplishment this year, next to being born, is learning to scoot and crawl backwards. Going forward he's hilarious and looks like an inch worm. First he gets on all fours and scoots his knees forward then he belly dives forward. He's very inquisitive and curious. He loves exploring everywhere and Mom is going to have her hands full once he starts walking!


Jaden: Is loving kindergarten! He's doing well and his teachers wish they had 20 students like him. They say he's always happy and kind to everyone. He loves playing computer and lately is big into Daddy's Xbox games. His favorites are Shrek and Lego star wars. He loves playing with Evan, my cousin's son. He had fun going to see the Nutcracker Ballet with his class and making gingerbread houses too.


Shayla: Is loving 2nd grade! She is reading at 3rd grade level and is doing awesome in all her schooling. She wants to be a fashion designer and currently loves making her designs on paper. I think she is using all of our paper! She loves her baby brother and can always get him to smile and laugh!! She has been such a wonderful helper to her mommy.


Meagan: Meagan is enjoying being a beehive in Young Women's and was in the Stake youth Christmas Choir. She beat the record for the AR Wordcount with reading over 2million words in one Trimester. As you can tell, she is our resident bookworm. She wants to be an author and has already began writing her first novel. It is called "Super Powered Kid." It's a cross between Sky High meets Harry Potter. She has already completed her 1st chapter.


Tami: Tami is enjoying being a Mommy! She is thoroughly enjoying little Andrew even when he keeps her up all night! She is also having fun teaching Shayla's CTR 7 class. Her kids think she's the best! She keeps busy with Andrew and the rest of the kids with all their activities. She is still unpacking!!







Larry: Larry was promoted to a Band 92 district manager position in the Sacramento California area. So once again, we packed everything up and moved to Rocklin, California. We also live less than a mile away from my cousin John and his wife Joann. It's fun being near family again. Larry and I also celebrated our 15th year anniversary by enjoying a weekend in Monterey, CA. Of course, we had to stop by the golf mecca known as Pebble Beach where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch overlooking the 18th hole.

We enjoyed our annual trip to Utah this past summer. We finally took the kids to Lagoon with Tim & Shalyn. It was a fun trip. This year we look forward to taking the kids to Disneyland. We miss you all and hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Love,
Larry, Tami, Meagan, Shayla, Jaden & Andrew Twitchell
