2015-2016 Family newsletter


Wallace Family 2015-2016

Chad – Chad is enjoying teaching World and U.S. History to Freshman and Sophomores at the high school and is also the J.V. Tennis Coach, Sophomore Class Advisor, and Anime Club Advisor.  In September he completed his first 100 mile ultra-marathon and made a documentary about his experience. He showed the documentary in our local movie theater and had great attendance. You can watch it on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVGa2FfZZjE. He recently signed up for his second 100-mile ultra-marathon which he will run during spring break in March. We are proud of all his hard work and how high he sets his goals! He has also been doing lots of great projects around the house and spending lots of time with the boys. They have so much fun with him!

Michelle – I have kept very busy this year!  I had Ethan in March and have been busy with 2 boys now! We feel so blessed to live in Mountain Home only a few blocks from my parents. They are a tremendous help and we have a lot of fun being close to them! I recently discovered an amazing children’s book company called Usborne Books & More and became an independent consultant for them. It has been a lot of fun and really blessed our family in so many ways! It has been very rewarding to be involved with a company that promotes literacy and gets families reading together!

Mason is 3 ½ and is such a joy to be around. We love his sense of humor! He started a co-op preschool this fall with me and 4 other moms from church and loves it and is doing really well! He LOVES firetrucks, ambulances, and police cars and spends the majority of his days “rescuing” people and responding to emergencies, especially fires. He wants to be a fireman when he grows up. He started primary at church last week and loves it – especially singing time! He is a great singer!  He also loves sports and trucks and reading stories. He is a great big brother to Ethan and a great helper to mom and dad. He also completed his first kid’s triathlon this year – he wants to be just like daddy!

Ethan is almost 10 months old now! He is crawling everywhere, walking around holding onto the furniture, and close to walking on his own. He loves to climb! He loves balls, rattles, music toys, playing the piano, and playing with Mason. He also loves to laugh and is very social and smiley. He is great at playing on his own and is usually a very happy baby.

We hope all of you had a great Christmas and New Years! Thanks for being our friends!

Love,
The Wallaces
