Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Goodman Family 2009

What a joyous time of year when we can reflect on the past 12 months, and see where we've been, where we are, and where we need to be!

Nick and Linda are grateful to be in their desert home.
Linda is still running races!

Nick Jr, Rachel, Sam, and Jake thrive in Fountain Hills, AZ. The parents continue to do their X-Terra and triathlon races as part of their multi-sport training business.

Gens, Nicci, Dailan, and Magnus welcomed Soren Genson, a new son/brother, into their family in March right before moving to El Paso, TX where Gens is in his first year of Orthopaedic residency at the Army Hospital.

Xela is surviving grad school at ASU, but will be so glad when that comes to an end in May. She is more than ready for a new adventure on foreign soil.

Jorgen married Amy Lynn Holker in July. What a happy occasion it is when we welcome another new member into our family. Jorgen and Amy are students at BYU-Provo. They are expecting a girl in the spring!

Anders has yet to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. No doubt someday that will happen!

Our five grandsons and soon to be one granddaughter are reasons for rejoicing, to see life begin fresh and new and perfect!

We hope your Christmas will be filled with joy and love this 2009 holiday season! Thank you for your friendship and the love you send this way.
