Warm Holiday Wishes
It has been quiet in Monterey, yet a challenging, rewarding, and blessed year for all of us. We hope you are well and happy, safe and warm…
About Mikaël…
Mikaël will be spending the holidays with his father, stepmother, and their three boys in France this year.Mikaël is 20 now ~ gasp! I am very proud of the man he is becoming. Mikaël is studying at a university in France this year. He is a junior at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where my father has taught for 35 years. Mikaël is majoring in French and Philosophy. He says he hopes to join the Peace Corps after college. I couldn’t hope for better! We enjoyed a brief visit from Mikaël at our home by the beach in Monterey, before he left for France. Morgan and her friend had a grand old time burying Mikaël in the sand.
Our Critters…
Sadly, our fishy guy, Fred, passed away last week. But we still are the proud parents of two lovely doggies, Chanel and Madison, and two regal cats, JakeJake and Kitty.
Miss Morgan Grace…
My precious Miss Morgan is a lovely 12-year old now. She is a talented seventh grader and enjoys a number of good, meaningful friendships. She is a skilled writer, photographer, and artist, in her own right, and also enjoys being part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Student Oceanography Club. This year, she and I are going to take riding lessons. Morgan is spending Christmas in Wisconsin with her grandparents, father, his wife, and her brand new baby sister, Fiona. She will also have the chance to see my family, Monique, Michèle and Chris, Denise, and my beautiful nieces, Gabrielle and Madeleine.
For my part, I am thoroughly enjoying my wonderful job in test development for French at the Army’s Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center here in Monterey. I am one of the fortunate few who is not only using all of her education, but I learn so much more every day that work is one of my most favorite pastimes nowadays! I am even extra fortunate in that I work with some amazingly smart and experienced colleagues. I could not have designed a better or more rewarding job for myself!
I have been further blessed with wonderful children, beautiful sisters, and kind a beautiful family and friends. We have been living near the beach for a year and a half now, and I invite you all to visit us, sit on the balcony, and enjoy watching the waves. We do sincerely hope to welcome you very soon.
Next year will see Mikaël finish his year studying abroad and begin his senior year of college. Morgan will, hopefully be attending York School here in Monterey. I will continue my passion for writing, photography, and other artistic endeavors, and am scheduled to travel to France in late May.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MAY YOU ENJOY A BLESSED LIFE IN 2007!
Danielle, Mikaël, and Morgan Pensec
