As the year wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to update you all on what has happened:
Daniel:
He had a scare this year when he got an urgent call from his sister saying his father was in a hospital in Mexico near death. Once things were sorted out it appeared the reports were highly overstated. At last word, his father is doing well. Dan still works as a technical analyst and continues to deal with pain daily. We have yet to determine the best course of action for this.
Karen:
She just finished an eleven month internship with a CPA firm in Albuquerque where she got hands on experience with tax, bookkeeping, litigation support, and fraud investigation. She has also completed her Bachelor's degree and passed two of four sections of the CPA exam. She is currently looking at her options in regards to career path, but has yet to make any final decisions.
Gabriel:
He's excelling in math and reading in school and has passed his preliminary gifted program evaluation. Half-way through his 2nd grade year, he has earned high marks from his teacher. His interests outside of school continue to tend towards video games, but he finds enjoyment in trying out sports and music.
Valerie:
She's transitioned this year from Pre-K to Kindergarten where she has made many friends with both students and teachers. Her talents in art and drawing earned her the distinction of presenting a letter written to Mrs. Obama, that she'd written and illustrated, to the NM Public Education Department before it was sent separately to Washington, D.C.
