Merry Christmas. May the quiet peace and gentle love of the first Christmas inspire you to be your best throughout this next year.

What a wonderful time of year! These last few months have been very rewarding as many changes have come to our lives because of our little angel, Natalia. In September we opened a new page up for our Trisomy 13 friends, Living with Trisomy 13 - Miracles in Progress. Through this new page we now have a new Trisomy 13 memorial fund, http://www.KatiesT13fund.org  Our new business, Inspired by an Angel, took off on Thanksgiving Day. A perfect day to start THE GIVING PLATE. http://www.thegivingplate.com  It is amazing how many wonderful blessings have come to our family since our little Natalia came into our life. We've had healing of cancer and a conversion. Praise God!! He is the strength that gets us through each day.

Natalia is doing well. She continues to sing (hums) Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to us daily and shows slow, but constant progress. Our daughter, a Freshman in high school is now playing water polo. Our son in middle school enjoys his Jazz Ensemble group and our third grade son, loves keeping busy with Nintendo games, Yu-gi-oh and Legos with his friends. All three enjoy theatre and just finished the Wizard of Oz in the local theatre program.

We're looking forward to a wonderful year of catching up...I have many, many piles gathered over the years so please pray for my clutter problems. I also have hope on getting 15 years of photos in order! (Ha) Should be fun!

God Bless You All and may you receive many Graces, Wisdom and Peace in the coming year. Please continue to join us in praying for others when you are able.

ThereseAnn and Natalia
