We wanted to send out our Holiday Greetings early this year since we moved to a new home after Christmas last year on 12/26/10 & would like you to have our new address so we can hear back from you. We down-sized to a single-story home that is close to our girls & families & super close to our church. Moving was a monumental task & we still have much organizing, donating & purging to do!! If we ever move again, it will probably be to an old folks home!! We just became grandparents for the 4th time!!! (*Photo link below*) Camdyn Livi Vaughan was born to proud parents Sara & Jimmy on Tuesday, November 15, at 11:29 pm weighing 8 lbs. 15 ozs. Big sister Ellie, who's now 5 yrs. old, has plans to be mommie's helper while she's not attending kindergarten. Ellie loves all the Disney princesses & enjoys playing house, doing art projects & watching DVDs. Jill & Chris's kids, Brayden & Joey, ages 9 and 6, are all-boy & love video games & are active in karate. Brayden will be starting winter football in December & Joey has begun BMX bike racing. ALL of our grandkids have been such a blessing in our lives! Jeannie retired on October 7, 2011, after working for Mesa Public Schools for 22 years, & is loving it!! She's enjoying her freedom & is keeping busy by attending daily Mass, watching the grandkids & doing whatever she wants!! Steve is still working as Audio-Visual Specialist at MPS & hopes to retire within the next year or so. We're hoping to take some road trips to some national parks & other parts of the U.S once we're both retired. We still have our cabin up in Pine, AZ, & head north once or twice a month in the winter & more often in the summertime. We find much peace & contentment in the woods & enjoy the wildlife----deer, squirrels, javelina, quail, & a large variety of birds. Who would've guessed that sitting on our porch feeding squirrels & watching birds could be so entertaining!! Please let us hear what's happening in your life! Please make note of our home & email addresses & phone numbers: 2579 E. Erie Ct. Gilbert, AZ 85295 (480) 507-5960 (Home for now, but likely our 2 cells only in the future) (480) 773-8130 (Steve's cell & email) ............ sksheppl@yahoo.com (480) 773-8129 (Jeannie's cell & email) ........ jasheppl@yahoo.com May your Holidays be filled with peace, love & joy as you spend time with family & friends. We're thankful that God has put you in our lives! Blessings, Steve & Jeannie |
