Pat and Julie celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary this December.  They are in good health overall, except for a few aches and pains.  Dad is the main bread baker at the bakery, the Bread of Life Bake Shop.  He stays much busier now after the hurricane, as we have picked up several restaurant/deli bread orders in addition to the ones we already filled.  He loves to read; every spare moment you will find him with a book in hand or watching baseball with Tricia. 

Mom stays busy keeping up with the business end of things.  She places the orders, keeps the books, and does the invoicing and billing for our school, Christian Institute of Arts & Sciences (CIAS).  She also keeps busy with weekly interviews, homeschooling consultations, composition lessons, and research paper workshops.

Mom and Dad say that they hate getting old, but we girls think it is because they don’t have any grandbabies to keep them happily preoccupied! L
