The year is 2007 and it is Christmas time,
And it is time for the annual Christmas rhyme.
We wanted to get a head start on our Christmas letter,
Because getting you our new address would be better.
While visiting Megan in Augusta in January one day,
She pointed to a commercial building that seemed to say,
“Fix me up and you will see,
That one day a great quilt shop I will be”.
So, the building we did buy,
And to jobs and friends we said goodbye,
In June our things we did pack,
We have moved to Augusta trying not to look back.
We have torn out, built up, sanded, tiled and painted,
Robert has plumbed and done electrical and not fainted.
We have worked and worked on the apartment on the second floor,
Making it a place we can live for sure.
However, ours dogs now do not have a yard,
Having to walk them everyday has not been so hard.
This year has been busy with lots of change,
In a lot of ways we will never be the same.
In a temporary nursing job Kathy worked fulltime,
She thought with a nursing shortage a job would be easier to find.
Finally at an outpatient cancer clinic she is working fulltime,
She gets to ride her bicycle to work with Megan most of the time.
Tickets to the “Quilt Market” for her birthday Robert did give,
We needed to go and see how shop owners live.
We walked and talked in the convention center for two days,
Trying to figure out what we might need to order and how to save.
Working more than fulltime Robert, the house to renovate,
He has worked really hard to make the space great.
At Megan’s urging he trained for a 5K,
So, again running may be in his life to stay.
He has been to Arizona a couple of times,
Getting to see his family, my how time flies.
The book of Matthew is his Bible study,
He gets to ride motorcycles with Kathy as a buddy.
Megan started school to be a (physicians assistant) P.A.
School started with a bang, all starting in May.
Megan and her boyfriend Michael for triathlon did train,
It ended up being a duathlon because of the rain.
In September she got a coat so white,
She feels responsible to learn everything right.
She has learned some hard things about control,
And that of some things she must let go.
Wow, can you believe Drew turned 18 this fall,
He decided that high school wasn’t for him al all.
He is working at Blockbuster and took his G.E.D.
And trying to decide if Augusta is really where he wants to be.
And it is time for the annual Christmas rhyme.

And trying to decide if Augusta is really where he wants to be.
A car of his own he did finally acquire,
And after a ticket, decided a seat belt was proper attire.
For the spring he may enroll in Augusta State,
Which we think would be just great.
And from you, our friends and family we want to hear,
To, see how things have been for y’all this year.
May this be a Christmas not just of presents,
But with Jesus love and His presence.
Love,
Robert, Kathy, Megan and Drew
