Four days before Christmas, we’ve just settled in
For some pre-holiday fun and some relaxin’.
It’s that time of year, when we take back a look,
At the fun that we’ve had, ‘fore we close the book…
On yet one more year. Two thousand and eight
Is closing down soon, but, man, was it great.
Michaela turned five, and went off to school,
Her Mommy cried, like most Mommies do.
But, wait, Mommy went back to school, too!
“Madame Librarian,” that’s what I’ll be called,
If all goes as planned, I’ll have a “real” job in the fall!
Bethany’s in third grade, she’s now a fiddlin’ fool,
She’s still a monkey, and doing well in school.
Gabe is in 5th now, he’s right at the top.
Reading’s his strong suit, we can’t get him to stop!
Scouts and robotics club, that’s what else he does,
Legos and saxophone, two more things he loves.
Jon is still strumming the old guitar,
He brings home the bread from near and from far.
He’s still writing songs, which I think are the best!
And hopefully, someday, so will the rest…….(of you)!
Another bright spot in our wild crazy year,
Jon and I traveled to England, land of good “cheer.”
A conference, sightseeing, wonderful new friends,
It’s really too bad it had to come to an end.
But then there was Silverwood, where fun abounds,
Until the second day, lightning drove us off the grounds.
This was a bummer for all of us there,
But when you’re with friends, you make fun anywhere!
So there is our year in a nutshell my friends,
The Meeks are busy, but the fun never ends.
Stop by and see us, or give us a call,
And we wish Merry Christmas, to one, and to all!
