It has been a year already!!! The Fagans love this time of year, because we get to hear from people that we haven't heard from in awhile. We hope all is well with each one of you. Let me give you a quick "news flash" from youngest to oldest.

Justin is 1!!! He is so much fun. He was definitely meant to come to our family. He loves anything to do with a ball and Dad is pretty proud. One of his nicknames is midgie because he is pretty small; Daddy hopes he out grows that!!

Jaynie is 5 and thinks its pretty cool that she has outgrown her shoes and clothes. She loves her dance class and loves to go to preschool. She still has quite the imagination.. She loves to make Karsten dress up with her and dance around the house as the King and Queen. With lots of bribing, Jaynie learned to waterski this past summer. She is FINALLY sweet!!

Karsten "KNOCK ON WOOD" is doing GREAT! No tumor growth in over a year. They are going to start him back up on the growth hormone. He hasn't grown in over a year and Jaynie is now the same size as him. Karsten was baptized last March and was so happy for that day to come... We didn't know if that day would ever come for him. He LOVES school and still doesn't understand why he cant go on Saturdays. The kids at Dalton Elementary treat him so good. A group of boys came and asked him to come play football at recess. His Aide, Diane was very nervous about that, but as she watched, the boys were very careful with him and let him run down the field with the ball. It brought tears to our eyes. Karsten also learned to waterski this past summer. We were all a little nervous but he did it and I dont think he wants to do it again. He has had several play dates with young girls in his class and was even asked to go to the movies with 3 girls. He is quite the ladies man. Miracles continue to come into play with our superman. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support.

Kayla is now in 6th grade and first year at the middle school. She is still very involved with soccer and basketball and has tremendous talent. For being so tiny she can have a very competitive mean streak to her at times. She comes by that quite naturally and we love to see it. She cant wait to turn 12 because she can get out of primary and be in young women's. Kayla has been blessed with a great group of friends that make her so happy and fun to be around.

Jacqualine just turned 14!!! Dad is freakin out because now she can attend Stake Dances and dance with boys. Mom is excited and wants to go buy her an outfit and teach her how to dance. This is Jacqualines last year at the middle school and then she will be home taught and will never be allowed to go out of the house again.. High School YIKES!! She will do great. She too has been blessed with wonderful friends and loves to play basketball (her first choice) and volleyball.

Will and I are doing great also. We trained for a half marathon this past year and actually finished before our time was up. Will is still serving in the bishopric and coaching basketball. As for me I sit around on my booty all day and eat bon bons and watch my behind spread. Really, there is never a dull moment in the Fagan home. We have been very blessed. We hope you all find joy and peace this time of year. Please drop us a line sometime. We would love to hear from you. Merry Christmas friends and family.
