Your family is very impressive and I am glad to have had the opportunity to view 
all of your blessings.  I have not had contact with you since right after our last
reunion when I sent some Public Education material to you.

I have retired from the Fire Department as of 2001 and now work for ISO-Insurance
Services Office.  My wife Alice and myself are also now living on a small cattle 
ranch of about 200 acres with a few head of cattle and a lot of work.  

Life has had its many ups and downs over the past 55 years, but I believe as we age
we become more aware of all of the blessings we have received.  Little things in life
become so much more important than all the material things we have acquired.

In the past three years I have lost my grandmother, my Father, and my only and younger
brother.  When these events started to happen I was naturally upset and felt like it 
was not right or deserved and of course feeling sorry for myself.  But, as time goes on
we realize how much we were able to enjoy the time and what we learned from each one of
them.  They have left behind a legacy and have touched so many lives each in their own 
special way.

I wish you and your family well and hope for the best for each and everyone of you.  
It is such a blessing to have been able to view a small but wonderful piece of your lives.

Take Care,

enjoyed see Kara's graduation on the CD that you shared with us)  Many more blessings to 
you in the coming year and we have added Linda on our prayer list---keep us informed.

Hi Foote Family!
I always love catching up with your wonderful website you send out each year.
I think of you often and miss you. Linda, I haven't found anyone that gives 
hugs as good as you! Evan, I'm thankful for the opportunity to 'get my feet 
wet' at PCC. I'm working with the youth at the Church at RB and loving it. Jr 
High kids are so impressionable. I'll be moving up to the High School group 
next year, as Jake will be a freshman at RB High. It's so hard to believe Jake
 turned 14 a couple of weeks ago! Seems like yesterday he was downstairs at the 
preschool with Mrs. Schooler! He's doing great in school - and continues to play 
on an RB travel baseball team (hope you got our Christmas card & picture of Jake
in action!). He is my greatest blessing.

I've had a pretty rough year with my MS. Numerous surgeries for my bladder dysfunction
and an allergic reaction to a new therapy had me in the hospital for many weeks. I 
continue to work as an MS Advocate, talking to others who share my disease, and have 
been working on writing my book.
I'm so happy for all the wonderful news in your family. 
My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. 
Love as Always,
Tricia

Always enjoy hearing from you, Linda and Evan, and entering vicariously into your family's
adventures. We thought of you and prayed for your safety during the fires,  and I guessed 
the 107 had something to do with smoke or flames. Little did I imagine your crisis involved
water! (Thank God for insurance!)

Looks like 2008 holds more excitement in store, with Amy graduating and Josh and Jess about
to present you with a prized and precious first grandchild.

Both our sons, Joel and David, are still at home. They work and take classes at the local community
college while they try to figure out their career direction. Joel has an artistic bent and bemoans 
the fact that "art doesn't pay well" and keeps looking for a tolerable way to earn adequate income 
to support his passion for playing with Adobe Photoshop and composing lyrics. Of the many subjects 
David finds intriguing, psychology and sociology hold the greatest fascination. He's only in his 
second year of college; so his decisions remain fluid. But recently he seems to have focused on the
possibility of becoming a profiler for some branch of the intelligence service, possibly the FBI. 
He would love to do his upper division studies at UCSD, but he's also aware the competition for 
admission is stiff. We'll see what develops.

The Reasons To Believe ministry continues, by God's grace, to grow and to keep us growing in utter
dependency on the Lord. Opportunities and ideas still outstrip our capacity, and we're told that's 
the best problem a ministry can face. So we'll take it and be glad (most of the time) for the 
pressures and challenges it brings. We're certainly motivated to maintain our health!

Wishing you a fruitful 2008,

Kathy

SO good to catch up.  We are so excited that a grandchild is in the future for the Foot family.  
We highly recommend those precious little ones!  We are so delighted to be in Colorado with all
of our kids and grands.  Christmas was very special with all of us together.  Mark has a new friend,
Trina, and she joined us as well.  Not sure just where this relationship will go, but  seems good
for now.

I was so happy to receive your yearly news letter!  I read every word that is written!  
Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your first grandchild!  You are about to enter 
into a whole new level of joy you never knew could exist!  It's an untapped emotion you never knew
you had until that first baby is born.  And then, as you have more grandchildren, it just gets 
better and better! It is so good to hear that your family is doing well.  Everyone's life is so 
exciting and full. We will be praying for Linda.  Please keep us posted on her progress.

Happy New Year to all of the Footes.  

It is just amazing to look at the picture, think back over the last decade or so and think of how 
all of your kids have grown.  To think, I was the age Josh is now, when we moved down here.

Looking forward to the newest Foote in next year's picture.

Was kinda glad to find that I didn't have to read through 107 blessings (although it would probably 
be a pretty good read). Evan and  Linda, Josh and Jess, Kara and Chris, Amy - you are an awesome 
family! Linda, Sweet Linda, there is healing in the name of Jesus (like you didn't already know). 
You are in my prayers, absolutely.

News from me? No wife to report on. No kids. My dog however flunked obedience school and has not 
been able to hold down any steady work. He is very grateful though for his daily two cups of dog 
food and and supplement table scraps.
