Hello from Texas

Hmmm... so far it is only Hardy children, but I am hoping to get updates on all the family. Let's see... to update everyone on our life. Todd is still working as a piano teacher in Austin and I have been working as a nanny for the past few years. Our good news is that I was placed with a new family on July 20th. Thanks to all who helped me with advice as I negotiated my new contract. Allison is 12, Natalie is 10, and Hannah is 8. As our girls are getting older the lone male in the house is starting to retreat to his cave more. These next few years are going to be exciting. Love to all!!! I can't wait to hear how everyone is doing.

Brad and Rachel's Life Update

Brad has been working with Ron Cox Builders for the last 11 years. We continue to be blessed with work even though the industry of building houses is "slowing down". He has multiple benefits with the job which include a company truck...(NO GAS EXPENSES ON OUR SIDE) HOORAY! I am starting a new job at the Primary School as an inclusion aide to an autistic boy going into 1st grade. I am really excited for the new opportunity. Young Women's (since Jan) continues to keep me busy aside from all the other responsibilities a person can have. Eric will be going onto 6th grade and will be turning 12 in February. I still don't feel old enough to have a 12 year old. Michael is going into 4th grade and is turning 10 in August. He is really excited that maybe 4th grade will be "hard enough". Emily will be 4 in November. She loves all things pink, but you can tell she has 2 brothers. She can get dirty with the best of them. Hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. Happy school year to all the students this year!

new age family letter

So maybe this won't work as well as I hope, but we are definitely in the digital age, and the reunion literature seemed to make it to everyone okay across the web. So here we go, I can invite everyone to the blog, and people can make their own posts, and add their own pictures. Just updates on your families and big news. That way everyone has the opportunity to share for themselves, and everyone also has the opportunity to see what is going on with everyone else. Best of all it's FREE! Love to all! Sara Dee
