May God's promise of eternal life give you hope,
the presence of the Holy Spirit give you faith,
and Jesus' perfect love give you peace.
December 2008
Dear Family and Friends,
With each Christmas card we send, our thoughts and prayers are with you! May 2009 include many blessings for you and yours.
2008 has been a good year for the Scobbas. Megan turned 8 in August and is in 3rd grade this year at St. Jude of the Lake. Charlie coached her softball team this summer and is now coaching her basketball team. She had her first game last weekend and was very excited to score a basket!
She will also be appearing in Pirates! the musical through Ashland Productions in January. She loves the singing and dancing, and we’re excited to see her on stage. She is on the math team again this year and is a Girl Scout with her “volunteered” mom as a troop leader. We’re still getting the hang of it, but I enjoy having something we can do together. Megan is a great help to us around the house, and we’re very proud of how she’s growing as a sister and a friend.
Shea turned 5 this fall and is a busy preschooler. He is going to all-day pre-K at St. Jude’s and is really thriving. It’s fun to hear about the letters he learned and the little friends he’s made. He’ll be very ready for Kindergarten next year. He too is a great big brother to little Sammy and likes to be a helper around the house. He’s a very thoughtful boy with a smile that melts our hearts.
Sammy is 19 months old and doing his best to keep up with Megan and Shea. He spends his days at Laurie’s and really loves it there. He’s learning how to climb stairs and likes to look at books, watch Baby Einstein videos, take baths, bang on things, throw balls, and try to catch Furry the cat.
Charlie and I are doing well. Charlie is teaching 4th grade at St. Jude of the Lake again this year and really enjoys his class. Their enrollment was down a bit this year, so we are praying that next year’s numbers are good and that his job is secure. He keeps very busy with teaching, coaching, and doing an awesome job of helping with the kids, laundry, dinners, etc.
I will be celebrating my 10th year at Trane in January and really love my job and the people I work with, which is such a blessing. I’m trying to get the hang of Girl Scouts, and I’m still part of my Monday night Bible study group. I fit in reading, scrap-booking, and gardening when I can.

Love and blessings,
Charlie, Tracy, Megan, Shea, and Samuel
