Happy 2010 - Bring on 2011

Here's the Martin Family update for 2010
Margie started Kindergarten and loves to go to school and learn. She is starting to read and gets very excited when she realizes she knows a word or can sound one out. She loves to play Barbies, color and do projects at her desk, and help with baby James. Jacob - as he now likes to be called, (sometimes) - started preschool two days a week, it's a great break from mom and gives him an opportunity to learn and have his own school to go to. He loves Batman and all other superheroes and can often be seen sporting a superhero shirt and cape as he flies around the house and even sometimes around the town with mom. James Talmage Martin was born just before midnight on Aug 22, 2010. He just turned 4 months before Christmas and is growing so fast. He is a sweet boy and loves to smile and interact... almost too much because he is usually crying if nobody is giving him attention or holding him. He's a fun and challenging addition to our family. Dan is enjoying and kept busy with his work at Fronterra Geosciences. He is serving with the Young men and as a ward missionary which keeps him busy out of work also. He had the opportunity to go on a business trip to Egypt last month and see the pyramids
(yep that's really him there- no photoshopping required! Becca is adjusting to life with three kids. (She couldn't find a picture of herself without a child in it also..such is life!) She is the Primary Chorister at church and that keeps her busy as well. She still enjoys quilting and has been taking on many household projects lately, when she has time and what can be done with a baby in one arm.

We are grateful for all our friends and family and the great relationships we have with them. We are ready for a new Year and new experiences that may come with it.
We wish you all a Happy New Year!
