Rigby Christmas Card!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you’ve all had a happy, healthy year. We’ve had a pretty eventful year: we’ll start with Lydi.

As we speak she is somewhere in a cold (cold like the Moscow in “The Saint” as she puts it) drafty un-OSHA friendly warehouse in China. She showed us pictures from last time she was there and in one she was wearing this huge mask. I’m like –in shock- “What happened that day?” “Oh we’re supposed to wear them all the time; she said “the dust from the bowls is bad for your lungs.” So a very Merry Christmas to our emphasemic sister! Anyway besides that it’s been pretty cool for her. Crystal Tones has been pretty good to her and she travels quite a bit. She’s been to New York, New Mexico, Seattle, Germany and China, just to name a few, in the past year. She still paints and is the most artistically talented person I know! Seriously!

Jess and Tony have had a great year as well. They welcomed a new addition to their home this year; a new roof! Seriously though they really did have to redo their roof themselves- just ask Tony how exciting it is to be a homeowner! They were bless with a little angel baby, Indie Marie in March. Jess still works part time at Fusion and Tony is still busy as ever working full time at Lakeview Hospital and going to school. They are the most patient parents I have ever seen and Jess is constantly showing us up- She’s already skinnier then she was before she was pregnant. But it’s been that way my whole life why should things be different now? Moving on….

Kev and I are still reeling from our whirlwind move this month. We sold our house and moved into another one all in about 3 weeks. I’m not going to lie- it hasn’t been fun. I have one strand of lights that lay upon my mantel and that’s as good as it’s going to get!
Kev still works (a lot!) for Hatchco; they have opened a retail lot and now are doing both wholesale and retail. I’m still having a daily party with the girls. Chloe turned 4 this year and Madison turned 2. Anyway we have been extremely blessed this year and we still can’t figure out why!

Mom has had a great year and is still 40 lbs lighter then last year. She still cuts hair and also helps tend Indie. She and Dad still love their trailer and spent their two week vacation and any other time they can, moving from one Camper World to another.
Dad is so close to the finish line at work he can smell it. He only has 3 more months until his 30 years are up at the School District. The other day he came home from work in a great mood. When Mom asked what his deal was, he happily told her that he got to “dig ditch” for a while that day. We don’t know what he’ll be doing when he retires, but I can pretty well guarantee he won’t be doing it from behind a desk!



Anyway, we love you all. Merry Christmas
From the Rigbys, Hatchs and Smiths!
