Tandy Family Letter 2012
I know it is no longer 2012, but better late than
never. Levi turned 2 this year. He is very social and loves to play with his
friends. He is a regular little
chatterbox and will happily talk your ear off, even if you don’t understand all
of what he is saying. He has shown a big
interest in art. He loves to draw, and
can create some rather good faces for a two year old. I started having learning time with him once
a day Monday through Friday. He is
learning about the letters of the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers, and other
fun and exciting things. He usually asks
for learning time multiple times a day, and gets upset when I say we are
finished with that day’s lesson.
Matt was called to be an early morning Seminary teacher
for our church this year. Teaching
Seminary is something he has always wanted to do. Getting up before 5 am everyday is a bit of a
challenge, but he still loves to teach.
This year Matt participated in the Houston Startup Weekend. He competed against many other entrepreneurs
with much larger teams and wound up winning 2nd place! He has also been working very hard on the new
Houston office for Northpoint.
Sadly some things did not go as planned and because of
financial difficulty we decided to make some major changes. We sold or gave away more than half of
everything we owned. And moved out of
the beautiful house we were living in, and into a small apartment less than
half the size. I started working part
time in the evenings at a local restaurant as a hostess. And we are still in the process of going from
two vehicles down to one. It may be
difficult now, but we know it is only temporary.
I have been busier than ever with all the new things going
on this year. I am slowly working on
putting together a new curriculum for Levi once he finishes the current one in
March. I’m glad he likes the current one
I put together, but it does create some high expectations for the next
one. I had to stop couponing after the
move. While it did save money, it took
up a lot of time and space. Both of
which I no longer have available. There
are many more exciting things in the store for the Tandy Family. I will try my best to keep you all up to
date.
Love,
The
Tandy Family
