Merry Christmas from the Bonsers

The ABCs of 2009

Aunt Carey and Uncle Chris are proud of their first niece, Nora Brielle, born in June to Andy and Amanda, Carey’s siblings.

Barf or bake sums up Carey’s first trimester. If she was feeling well, she did a lot of baking. If not…

Chilly nights will be warmed by our fireplace from the 9 trees we cut down in our yard.

Dog parks were frequented with Marlow so that we could soak up our time with him before our baby arrived.

Enjoyment sums up time on Skype this year with friends and family. Look us up!

Friendships, old and new, have been huge blessings in our lives this year.

Grandma Allison visited for the first time and got to meet her great-granddaughter in November.

House projects are planned for Chris’ sabbatical.

Impatient described the last month of Carey’s pregnancy as we waited a total of 42 weeks for our daughter’s arrival.

Jesus has changed our lives and we celebrate Him this Christmas.

Kids in the foster system are people for whom we have compassion. Perhaps someday one will be a part of our family.

Learning a new programming language, Verilog, is a project Chris has been working on.

Marriage has been going great! We celebrated 4 years this year and look forward to many more together.

New York City was our last trip as a kid-free couple when we visited family in April.

One mile, Chris swam. He called it self-inflicted torture.

Puppy no longer. Marlow will turn 3 years old the day after Christmas.

Qwirkle is our new favorite board game.

Rest is something we miss as we raise our almost 2-month old.

Sabbatical eligible. Chris will receive 4 weeks off after working for AMD for 5 years.

Taste and See Fine Dining, Carey’s catering business, was a success as she was able to work solely on her own this year.

Uterine parasite was the description we gave to break the news that we were expecting.

Vera Corrine, our daughter, was born October 15th at 6:04pm, measuring 8 lb. 5 oz. & 21 in.

Waves were splashed at the beach of Port Aransas in June. Marlow enjoyed playing in the ocean and learned quickly not to drink the salty water.

Xerothermic is an adjective you could use to describe Texans this year as we survived the hottest summer on record.

Yankee game was a fun experience when we visited NYC.

Zyg is a word you should remember next time you play Scrabble.


Merry Christmas,
Chris & Carey Bonser
