Happy holidays from the Finn
Family. It’s been a big year on the home
front. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
Shannon: This year
Shannon spent hours searching for the perfect house in Florida to move the
family. We landed in the beautiful
community of Haron Bay in Parkland Florida. He negotiated a great deal, lined
up contractors and watched over the remodel.
At the same time he hired a wonderful Amish team to add a garage on at
the lake house. Now I have a warm, dry
place to park my car when traveling north for work.
On the work front, Shannon is
still in the medical equipment business.
He opened a warehouse near the house and has been kept very busy.
As for fun, Shannon enjoys
golfing with the boys and has started working out at the club house. Every now and then, he amuses me and we go
for a bike ride. Taking full advantage
of our new life, we all try to hit the beach once a week.
Wendi: I’m loving our new
life and think I’m as “retired” as I will ever be. I take advantage of my Florida days, enjoying
lunch by the pool and getting in an outdoor workout every day. Shannon got me a paddle board for my
birthday, so I’m looking forward to getting in some miles on the ocean. Every other week or so, I head north to my
cozy lake house cabin in Ohio. I love
working with IS Security Solutions clients and catching up with friends and
family. I truly have the best of both
worlds!
On the work front that I don’t
really consider work, book #3 of the One
Fatetful Night & Leap of Fate series is with my editor. I’m planning on getting that out in time for
Rio. I still enjoy teaching on-line for
Franklin and act as an Ambassador of Plexus products (because I use them, love
them and get a great discount!)
As for fun, I took an awesome trip
to Glasgow with two wonderful life-long friends. We had an amazing time touring the city,
traveling to castles and watching Team USA win the gold at Worlds!
Kody: Kody transitioned well. The boys love all the kids in the
neighborhood that come outside to play. On any given evening or weekend, it’s
not uncommon to see upwards of 10 boys playing in the neighborhood.
Kody joined a golf league and
made some wonderful friends. Living in southern Florida, right on the course,
he is able enjoy a lot of time on the greens.
He even took his mom once! Next
up, tennis lessons at the club!
Kody is doing very well in
school. He is taking two high-school classes, so things have gotten much more
interesting this year! He’s handling it
well and getting excellent grades.
Lucas: Keep your eyes on the prize or it might disappear! Lucas has taken up magic and loves it! It is rare to find him without a deck of
cards in his pocket or a trick literally up his sleeve. It’s been a very fun hobby for all of us to
enjoy. Lucas is also playing soccer and
has requested to take tennis lessons with Kody.
I love their interest in “lifelong” sports and activities.
Lucas has also made a number of
great friends. His best buddy also moved here this summer from California. They
met at soccer camp over the summer and are rarely separated on the weekends.
McKenzi: McKenzi
is attending a military academy this year, and to our great relief, he loves
it! He enjoys the structure and loves
the other boys. The class sizes are very
small, which has lead to him being successful in the classroom. Even in
math! He was reluctant to give the
school a try, but after just three weeks he told us he would like to stay
through middle school and maybe even high school. He still loves his guitar and is looking
forward to basketball season. We are
looking forward to having him home for the holidays.
Love to all,
The Finn Family
