December 2011 - Bohman Christmas Letter

December 2011

Greetings Friends,
It is hard to believe that it is this time of year again…MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Marc turned 40 this year! He is still pushing drugs for Takeda Pharmaceuticals, feeling lucky to be employed in this increasingly shrinking industry. In addition to his professional work, he has again been busy with scouting as we were able to serve on a Wood Badge training course this summer, volunteering another week at Treasure Mountain Scout Camp with our local boy scouts, as well as a full week of “Family Camp” for Powder Horn training. He is also active in lifting weights and taking pictures with limited spare time which hopefully will increase with the finishing of our basement in the next few months. Marc is becoming an excellent craftsman,
although he wouldn’t want to make it a full time pursuit. :)

Nick is now almost 13 years-old receiving the Aaronic Priesthood last spring in which he takes
his church responsibilities very seriously. He also earned his scouting “Life”award this fall, which is the last one before Eagle. He attended Cedar Badge training last summer as well as serving as a youth rep for a Wood Badge course this fall and is excited to have been selected to serve on Cedar Badge staff for the upcoming year. He is now in the 7th grade and spends part of his day dual enrolled at our local middle school in addition to his virtual classes. He loves anything to do with music and plays a variety of instruments. He is an avid snowboarder and also enjoys
playing baseball in the summer. He is becoming a great businessman e mowing lawns in the neighborhood. He is certainly changing into such a responsible young man who makes us proud!

Jacob just turned 10 years-old and excels in his schoolwork. He is part of a robotics team
putting all that Lego building and science knowledge to good use. :) His robotics team even
qualified to attend the state competition in Moscow, this month. He currently is part of mom’s Webelos den and serves as a leader to his peers. He is the “bomber” skier in the family and during the summer he had fun playing baseball. He has turned into such a great helper and
friend to his siblings.

Emily is now 7 years-old and is also excelling in her studies. She is an avid reader and also started piano lessons this fall in addition to ballet and ballroom lessons. She once again participated in the community performance of The Nutcracker ballet. During the winter months, she also hits the slopes competing with Jacob on speed. She loves to keep her mom company while shopping and is a great help around the house.
Tait will be turning 4 years-old in a few days. He is quite a little charmer and has several older girls who dote on him which makes Nick admirably jealous. :) He is currently working on pre-school in between assisting mom with everyone’s lessons. He also skis with mom, loves trains and duplo blocks between dancing with Emily in princess costumes.
Becky’s days are crazier than ever! However she enjoys her job as wife, mother and teacher the best. In addition to these she also serves in her church, volunteers with the school and works in the community with school choice options groups as well as the scouting programs.
We hope this letter finds you all well, that the spirit of Jesus Christ will fill your hearts and homes this Christmas season and that the New Year will bring you happiness, peace and joy!


Love,
The
Bohmans
