Blake Family Newsletter 2012



Blake Family 2012

Last year at this time Lily had just had her third surgery, Scott graduated from ASU, and we sold our condo and we were settling into a new home. So many blessing have happened to our family. Today we are busy as ever.


Scott: In January Scott got a job at Performance Software as a software engineer. He stays busy keeping up to date with all the new technology. Lily loves calling DADDY when he gets home and running up to give him a big hug. At church he is in Primary with the 5 year olds. In October we were able to visit his sister Amy and her family in Thailand for a week. It was a great trip! 


Cheryse:  Ended her 9th year teaching 5th grade and put in her resignation to be a stay at home mom. It was strange for her to see all the teachers start the new school year and to not have to worry about a classroom. It has been part of her identity for so many years.  She has wanted to be a stay at home mom  and is blessed to be home all day with the girls. Cheryse also watches a teacher’s daughter during the week. The little one is Lily’s age and they have fun playing together. At church Cheryse is busy working with 10 and 11 year old girls in activity days. She has fun planning different activities each month.


Katelyn: Is an active four year old. Once a week she gets to take dance and LOVES it! She is a great help around the house. She is always full of questions and can’t wait to start Kindergarten next year.  Katelyn loves playing outside and would go to the park everyday if she could. She loves looking at pictures on the computer, playing with legos, and stuffed animals.


Lily: Is 19 months and keeps us on our toes. If something is on the table that she wants, she will climb onto a chair and get on the table to reach it. Lily is surgery free for awhile. We are blessed to have such great surgeons that could fix her problems and she can lead a happy, healthy life. Lily loves to play outside and go down the slide. She loves baby dolls, carrying around baskets full of treasures, and food. She may be small for her age but she is always willing to eat when she sees someone with food.


We wish you a Merry Christmas! You can keep up to date with us through Facebook or our blog http://blakesters.blogspot.com/

We love hearing from all of you so please keep in touch throughout the year. We are blessed to have all of you be a part of our family. 


Love,

Scott, Cheryse, Katelyn (4) and Lily (19 months)
