2009

T’was the week before Christmas when all through the town
The Browns were looking at homes, for roots to lay down
Strike one, strike two, strike three, though we’re not out!
Laura and Bill are now starting to rout

Ben is now 12 and too big for his shoes
With football and wrestling and friends to choose
7th grade is his bane; school is no longer so sweet
Busy each day with homework to complete

Zac is now 8 and 3rd grade is his pleasure
A reading and math wiz, he is his teacher’s treasure
Cub scouts, soccer and wrestling galore
We are always in and out of the door

Sam, now 6, and as active as his brothers
Wrestles as tough and as hard as the others
1st grade is his favorite and he is learning to read
Gaining knowledge and kindness with increasing speed

Bill and Laura are working as hard as ever
In training and teaching and banking endeavors
We are healthy and happy and blessed as can be
Thankful for our young “troubles”, all three

We wish you a Merry Christmas
And send you great cheer
For a magical holiday season

And a Happy New Year!
