Warmest of Christmas Greetings.

How we enjoy the pictures and Christmas letters that come this time of year!! We thought it was time we reciprocated a bit. Don’t have a current picture of the family, but if I did this is what it would look like.

(Or at the least the grandchildren part.)

Picture three GIANT young men seated in a row.  Luke, 22; Josh, 20; and Zach (the tallest) 17 at least 6’4.  Seated on their laps are two little girls. Sophia, 3 and Lily 2.

The boys are Lori and Scott Lambert’s offspring. The girls are our “ miracle” adopted babies to proud parents, Beth and Jon Lamar.

To elaborate a bit, Luke is full steam ahead at ASU studying International Law, working as a waiter at an upscale steak house, called The Keg in Gilbert.

Josh is taking a hiatus from ASU, studying electrical engineering to spend a semester at Disney Imagineering in Orlando.  It’s a long held dream of his.  http://corporate.disney.go.com/careers/who_imagineering.html

Zach is recovering from shoulder surgery, an injury from basketball which has been his passion. He’s also no slouch when it comes to academics, like his brothers.

Sophia is our brown haired, brown eyed girl (looks like Beth) and Lily, the strawberry blond, with blue eyes looks more like Jon.

They are a reminder that God answers prayers far beyond what we can think or imagine.  When we’re with them, they make us feel young again, as when our two girls were little.  But only briefly.   After a couple hours, we again feel our age  and thankful that we aren’t on fulltime duty. 

We cherish the times we can spent with the boys, usually one at a time, and not often with their busy lives.

Lori’s back in school, midway through getting credential in Occupational Therapy while Scott brings home the bacon from General Dynamics. Beth, in addition to being Mom, helps run their photography business, Lamar Studios, in Gilbert.  http://www.lamarstudios.com/
