Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!


We wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! With these wishes we would like to update everyone on the happenings of our family. Now let us begin our family updates:

Monte graduated from OHSU on August 13, 2011. He is now a licensed Physician Assistant and is working for St Luke's Eastern Oregon Medical Associates in Baker City, OR. He is taking care of all of the acute patients that come in daily and he loves it. We couldn’t have been blessed with a better company to work for then St Luke's.

Paige (or Paigers, whichever name you prefer to call her) is busy as ever. She has enough energy to last her from sunup to well past sundown. She will be turning 4 in January and she is looking forward to taking Ballet classes from the Crossroads Art Center here in Baker. She loves to attend the reading sessions and activities at the library. She is also going to be moving up to her new Primary class at church. She is excited to learn more every day and loves to make new friends. She is very into tea parties (we serve hot chocolate instead of tea.) and playing with her Barbie dolls. She also loves to play with her younger sister Payton.

Little miss Payton (or as we call her PayPay). She is growing up so fast. On December 10th she will be turning 1 years old. She hasn’t started walking yet, but is well on her way to begin any day. She loves to play with or rather annoy Paige. But she doesn’t mind keeping mom in shape by going up the stairs at least a billion times a day. She loves her pet cat Bishop to death. He is very loving and gentle to allow her to lay on top of him and literally pull his hair out, but he loves it. Every morning when PayPay wakes up, Bishop has to come over and flop himself in front of her to get his good morning loving in. Mind you that this happens all day long if Payton would sit still long enough. She loves her fluffy fleece kitty blanket and she loves to eat. She also loves to play with balls and cars. Although you may think that she is sweet and innocent, miss PayPay is going to be our drama queen. When she doesn’t get her way she will let you know it. I believe I have my work cut out for me. However she does have her moments where she is very loving and will give you hugs and kisses.

As for little old me, I am taking online classes from Blue Mountain Community College, keeping house, raising two beautiful daughters, and being a wife to a loving and wonderful husband. I am also slowly decorating our 1910 Victorian home. Just keeping busy as always but loving every minute of what we have been blessed with this year.

We want to wish everyone again a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you all be blessed with all that your hearts desire for 2012!!
Love,
Monte, Misty, Paige and Payton Anderson
