Merry Christmas to our family and friends - from beautiful Arizona!

As we close another year - we are reminded of all our blessings and thankful for each of you!

This web site is Sandy’s lastest project - inspired by Rachel who started one long ago! It’s been fun to organize pictures (many more than anyone needs to look at!) and attempt to keep family and friends “up” on what’s going on with us – as little or as much as you want to know! This is a summary of our year:

The first half of this year was busy getting Grandma Burnham’s house packed up, cleaned out, fixed up, painted, carpeted, etc. We had a great time - as both Tim’s brother Jack and sister Mel came to help … as well as Sandy’s brother Tom! We’d still be working if it was just up to us! We had it on the market by June 23rd - just in time for the housing market crash! We’re hoping it will sell soon! If interested in the details look under Tim’s under the extended family link on the right … There you can see pics of the “Burnham” side of the family and all the info if you want to buy a house! While cleaning out gramma’s house we found many old Burnham family photos …so we actually got them all scanned and uploaded to an on-line photo album! Anyone interested in old pics from the “Burnham” side check out Tim’s Family album link under Old Family Pics …

Sandy was able to get away from the busy-ness to make a trip to Ohio for 6 days over the 4th of July - to celebrate her parents 55th wedding anniversary! All 7 Guyer kids were there, along with some of the rest of the family. What a great time! Check out Sandy’s family link to see more about the get-together, as well as pics of the rest of the “Guyer” clan!

James and Beka are both full-time students at Mesa Community College - quite a change for Mom to not be homeschooling at all! They were busy with continual performances the first 10 months of this year – on top of school! See details under their pages! In October they both actually chose to take a two month break – a nice change of pace as they focused on their school work. James is now in rehearsal for “West Side Story” at ASU…. Beka plans to audition for shows in January – so the break from performances is ending!

Tim’s time of working from home for the past 2 ½ years ended in October - he has to drive to Boeing once again. He misses the short commute across the hall, but is thankful to have a job! Sandy is adjusting to a quiet house – a first in almost 26 years! We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in September! We're constantly amazed at how faithful God has been to us ... so much to be thankful for - so thankful to get to know Jesus' love for us more and more each day!


We're enjoying having two married daughters and two great son-in-laws! Check out their pages to see more about each couple!


Big news this year is detailed in the next entry!!!
Tim and I are GRANDPARENTS!!!!

We're all pretty excited about Adah joining our family! (Notice all the red hair?)
We just can't get enough of her!

Wishing you all happy holidays - we'd love to hear from each of you!
