Greetings! We hope this season is providing you and your family the opportunity to pause and reflect.
Here's what 2009 brought to the Dreifuss clan …
- A new chapter in Logan’s growth and health
We have been blessed to be near the UNC Children’s Hospital and to have a wonderful GI, allergy and endocrine specialists who are helping us figure out his growth and food allergies.
In June, we joined Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) and have really drunk deeply from the solid Biblical teaching and intimate fellowship.
- The loss of our third child
This year, we suffered a difficult miscarriage with complications. We choose daily to celebrate the gift of life. We gave our little one a name, Eleanor (“Ellie”), so that we remember God’s hand in both giving and taking.
Emily has been quite a busy bee. She draws on every piece of paper she can find. Most of the time, there are fairies, pretty ladies, and castles. Her creativity even spilled over in to hair design when she chopped off most of her hair in September. She loves pens, Barbies, and FarmVille (on Facebook). She has transitioned into 1st grade and its been a joy to see her reading and starting to write for herself.
Logan’s personality has continued to come out this year with his verbal side exploding. Last night we found him dressed in his pirate hat, flannel pjs, and snow boots with a pack of dinosaurs on his back ready for an adventure … at 9:30pm. He keeps us laughing all the time and is a bundle of energy.
Bert has been continuing to work at FM:Systems, celebrating his 10th year in the Spring. He has continued to participate in Men’s Bible Studies meeting on Friday mornings.
Life has doled out a year of transition and learning this year for Meg. Most of the year has been focused on health and rest. Learning a new pace for life has been challenging and at the same time, rewarding.
Next year already promises to be exciting – with trips, family weddings, etc.
“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. “ 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
- Bert, Meg, Emily and Logan Dreifuss
