Sam made the varsity team as a Junior which is a great accomplishment at a 6A Division I school like Pearland. He was an Outside Linebacker, but he played most on Special Teams. Pearland won their Bi-district game, and they
got to play at NRG stadium, but we lost to Atascocita in the area round. Sam also received an award from the Football Team as an Academic All-District player.

All the family gathered in Waco to surprise Grans for her 80th birthday in July. This was her first time to see her second great grandchild
Aubrey Birchfield. Earlier this year, we said goodbye to Aunt Elsie who went home to be with the Lord at the age of ninety-four. She will be greatly missed.

Samuel is now 17 years of age and a Junior
at Pearland High School. My uncle Howard
Puckett gave us a great deal on this classic pickup truck. We did a lot of work restoring it mechanically and repainting it. When we finished this project, we drove it back to Liberty Hill to pay him and his wife Gloria a visit. It is a collectible 1986 Ford F-150 XLT Supercab Texas Sesquicentennial Limited Edition. Samuel is still a straight “A” student and is very involved in Christian work. He is a Leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and C.I.T.Y. which is a Christian group at his school. In addition to this, he teaches the Youth Sunday School Class at our church and brings friends on a regular basis.

Christmas 2015

It is our hope and prayer that you
and your family will experience the true meaning of Christmas this year.

Highlights for Our Family in the Year 2016

Our church celebrated our seventh anniversary in May. On Mother’s Day this year we dedicated five babies - three of whom were born between
December of last year and April of this year — all girls! (This is one of the ways we grow our church!!) In November, we enjoyed a visit from Tristan and Grace Whalen and they announced that they are expecting!!! We have an active and growing
Senior Adult group as well, and Sonja and I enjoy
occasional day trips with them. It has also been
a good year for our Church financially, and they have graciously given us a fourth week of vacation every year!

It is a family tradition for us to play monopoly
on New Years Eve. This past year our oldest son
Stephen won the game so we gave him the title
of “Mister Potter.” Perhaps, his interest in financial investments is paying off!

Our daughter Sophia finished one semester at Houston Baptist University making the Dean’s list with straight ‘A’s in the Honors College. She is currently working as an Artist/Manager at “Painting with a Twist” in Pearland. She is also
helping her husband as he pursues a degree in
Education at Alvin Community College. They adopted this cute little kitten named “Waffles.” Sonja enjoys kitty-sitting for them.

The big news for our family this year is that our
daughter Sophia got married in February to Jaime Baez — life is full of surprises! They have an apartment here in Pearland; so, we enjoy seeing them fairly often. Jaime loves the Lord and is a lot of fun to be around. He sometimes refers to himself as my favorite Son-in-Law… of course, he is my ONLY Son-in-Law : ) So, we are starting to experience an empty nest with Samuel being the only one still living at home …

...of course, they all seek me out when they have vehicle problems; so, I have now become known as “Scuz—Superhero”!

My New Card

Stephen turned 21 this year. He has worked at the Pappadeaux Seafood Restaurant for over two years and is now a headwaiter. This job gives him the flexibility to pursue his other
entrepreneurial interests. He has an apartment here in Pearland and enjoys his independence.

I restored it in time for Mother’s Day.
